Seagulls Soar Above a Rain-Slicked Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk
Under a dramatic, cloud-strewn sky, a flurry of seagulls wheels and dives above the Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk, their wings catching the light of a setting sun that casts a warm, golden hue over the scene. The waterfront glistens with reflections of the vivid, Impressionism-inspired colors: deep blues of the ocean, fiery oranges and reds of the sky, and the earthy tones of the historic buildings lining the shore. Visitors, depicted in silhouette, meander along the boardwalk, adding a human element to this vibrant tableau. The artist’s use of wax resist techniques enriches the texture, giving the water's surface a glass-like quality that mirrors the dynamic sky. This piece not only captures the essence of Halifax's scenic dockside but also invokes the serene yet lively atmosphere one might experience during an evening stroll by the sea. *** About Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk: The Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk is one of Canada’s most iconic seaside promenades.
