“Seaside” Original painting

Original painting by Alona Petliarska

“The sea always wins. And the houses always hold on.”

Stone cottages cling to a clifftop as wild dark waves crash below, a misty white headland rising behind. The warm lights in the cottage windows are the only warmth in the painting — everything else is cold water, grey rock, and the relentless Orkney weather. Painted in watercolour with expressive brushwork, this is a painting about endurance. About the places and the people who stay.
