About this artwork

Framed oil painting captures a tender moment between a romantic couple seated together in the Pergola at the end of the Victorian pier at Clevedon, Somerset, on a warm Autumn afternoon. The sun casts a golden glow over the scene, bathing the couple in soft, warm light. They sit close, gazing out over the calm waters of the Bristol Channel, behind them intricate detail of the pier’s design.

The couple's clothing reflects the season, with rich Autumnal tones of their warm jackets and her polished leather boots. The oil painting technique adds texture and depth to the scene, from the gentle shimmer of sunlight on the painted ornamental pier structure to the worn, weathered wooden boards beneath their feet. The sky is a delicate shade of blue in the chilly day. This painting conveys a quiet, romantic atmosphere, evoking a sense of nostalgia and peaceful connection.
