A small pathway opens up to the ocean, where white-capped waves rhythmically crash onto the shore. A cool breeze runs through the greens and blues of the grass and out onto the water, gently subduing the otherwise bright, summery scene. Uniquely stylized into fluid, dynamic shapes, the sky feels open and light compared to the busy details placed at the bottom of the composition.
