The sun dips lower in the sky, casting deep shadows and highlights on the steep sand dune. Small plants nestle in the crevices and broken branches hold back the red earth.

This artwork is part of the Dune series traces areas of the coast.

This particular artwork is dynamic in composition which is amplified by the limited palette of ochre, terracotta, brown, cream and off white.
The artwork is painted in acrylic and with highlights of charcoal and small parts of charcoal.
