Quiet Place - painting

This original painting by Nick Kelly entitled ‘Quiet Place’ captures the peace and quiet of a lone figure standing by the sea shore.

Nick says he enjoyed painting the soothing colours of the land, sea and sky which blend together to make the harmonious scene.

The young man is alone with his thoughts, with only the sea for company on the deserted beach, but somehow seems a contented soul in this quiet place.

This reflective painting is typical of Nick’s work. Growing up in Whitstable he always had a fondness for the sea, developing his artistic style.

Many years were spent travelling and working in the Middle East, but in later years he settled back in Whitstable where he now paints and writes.

Nick has a particular love of figures placed in a landscape. ‘I’m interested in the relationship between humans and the environment, from the single walker enjoying peace and tranquillity to the mass of people gathering on the beach on a warm summer day.’

His work is also shown in galleries in Whitstable, Westgate and Margate.

This original work is painted in acrylic on a 4 cm deep canvas, the work is unframed, but is ready to hang.

Size: 20 x 30 cm (8 x 12 inches)
