About The Piece

‘Tranquil’ is an acrylic painting by Hayley Stewart created in 2025. Inspired by the calming presence of the ocean as dusk settles in, the piece brings together vivid teal and purple tones in a striking yet soothing palette. Contrasting colours and smooth blending capture the quiet movement of the water, as moonlight gently reflects across the settling waves.

There is something deeply peaceful about the ocean at this time of day, a sense of stillness, spaciousness, and calm. Hayley’s vivid, atypical approach to landscape painting highlights the intricacies of nature through bold colour, smooth colour blending, and concise brushstrokes, inviting the viewer to pause and take in the tranquility of the scene.
