Original painting from the Clouds Over Seascapes 2025 series
A fleeting moment of calm after the storm. Golden light spills through parting clouds, casting warmth and renewal across the sea. The distant Lérins Islands near Cannes lend a quiet sense of place, though the emotion of joy and renewal could belong to any horizon.
This one-of-a-kind abstract cloudscape blends sculptural impasto with fluid underpainting, balancing richness and movement with refined detail.
Painted in premium acrylic on canvas board, mounted on a wooden subframe, and set in a removable tray frame. Sealed with UV-protective varnish, signed front and back, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
A collector’s piece. Unique, never to be repeated, and ready to hang.
Colours: Various shades of blue, muted oranges and greys.

Let customers speak for us
from 47 reviewsIt is a piece that still captivates us each day, with its vibrant colours and Alex’s ability to showcase her interpretation of nature. It is a piece we will pass on to our children.
Finally, I just got the painting up yesterday. It looks sooo good I'm so happy. Brings a beautiful vibrant feel to the space.
We are thrilled with Alexs diptych; an absolutely stunning set with a rich colour palette that lends itself to any setting. We love how shes painted each stroke of colour and how it comes together in unity to give movement and depth to this piece. We've our eye on another piece already.
I couldnt believe my reaction when I unpacked it. Its even more stunning than the photos and completely brings a beautiful peaceful atmosphere to our room.
Really wow... Next level quality. So impressed with it. Thank you.
As I write this I am standing in front of our fire and admiring the painting - it brings a smile to my face every day, and always garners comments when art lovers come to visit. We could not be happier! Our piece sits proudly in our living room and instantly transports me back into the mountains.
Our room looks so beautiful with this statement piece now.
The painting was absolutely more beautiful than the pictures showed - very very happy and will keep an eye out for any more work available! Could not recommend enough!
It really captures the beauty of what we saw on the west coast. The painting will be a great way for us to remember our time in NZ when in Canada. We'll keep checking out your website to see your future work. Thanks so much.
I particularly love the details of the brushstrokes when up close. And also a gorgeous view from a distance at any angle. I cant stop looking at it actually. Thank you!
Im in love with my painting! The colours are even better than what I was expecting. Looking forward to having people around to show it off.
Fast courier and so friendly to deal with. Highly recommend A+++
Love the painting and came very well packaged and safe. Thanks for everything! Will continue to watch your site for new works.
I cant wait to hang it up and just admire it.
We’re both so pleased with it. We’ve already had lots of comments about it from visitors. Please let me know when you're exhibiting in Wellington next as would love to see more of your work. I’m always on the lookout for nice pieces to fill the spaces.
