Tranquility

When the day is stressful and things just seem to get on top of you, my favourite thing in all the world is an evening walk. It needs to be near water though, the gentle lapping of the little tiny wavelets over the rocks and the diffused light all help to make the days dramas disappear.
When I lived in Sydney and was going to Art School it used to be one of the things that I did often to ground myself and get inspiration for another artistic venture. Nowadays, living on the Gold Coast on the edges of the Hinterland, its not easy to find a peaceful spot, but there is one up the road and round the corner. It has the proverbial ducks on the pond with a gently winding path around the edges. Although a main thoroughfare is just close you can't hear the traffic.
Its my new go to place for a little tranquility.
The painting is on a full sheet of watercolour paper with a one centermetre border left around for ease of framing.

Lucinda Leveille is an Australian landscape artist based in Queensland, known for atmospheric oil paintings that explore weather, stillness, distance and the emotional presence of place.

Working primarily in oils, Lucinda creates original landscape paintings shaped by memory, light and the quiet tension of changing skies. Her work often features clouds, trees, open land, distant roads and weather-filled horizons, sitting somewhere between realism and abstraction.

A graduate of the National Art School in Sydney, Lucinda has painted for many years and has exhibited widely, with work held in private collections across Australia and overseas. She has been recognised as one of Bluethumb’s Top 50 artists, placing her among the top-selling artists on the platform.

Her paintings are created as one-of-a-kind originals, with no prints or reproductions. Each work is developed slowly through layers of oil paint, colour, atmosphere and feeling, offering collectors a quiet place to arrive within the landscape.
