Standing at the shoreline, I found myself drawn to capture the way Holkham beach seems to stretch endlessly toward the horizon.

Through vigorous mark-making in the foreground, I built up textured layers that spoke of the tide's constant rhythm on the sand.

The interplay of turquoise seas with earth tones was crucial here, while hints of coral and gold caught the light. Above, I kept the clouds loose and dynamic, using softer strokes to suggest their movement across that vast Norfolk sky.

It was about capturing not just the view, but that feeling of space and freedom that Holkham gifts us on days like these.
