Lunar Tide
Size:21 x 16 in.
Lunar Tide is a serene and atmospheric 17" x 12" original artwork by Ian H Watkins, capturing the quiet poetry of the Welsh coastline through a palette washed in cool turquoise, soft teal, and silvery grey. The composition drifts between abstraction and suggestion, offering the impression of moonlit water shifting gently beneath a translucent sky. Layers of acrylic, pastel, and delicate metallic tones merge to evoke the shimmering pull of the tide, while textured passages hint at rugged rocks and distant headlands softened by mist.
Watkins’ instinctive approach is evident in the fluidity of the piece. Soft gradients fade seamlessly into one another, while fine lines and subtle marks dance across the surface like the fleeting trails of receding waves. The suggestion of reflected moonlight at the centre draws the eye inward, creating a moment of calm introspection.
Known for painting the soul of the Welsh landscape, Watkins often incorporates natural materials into his work, grounding each canvas in the physicality of place. His style, shaped by the legacy of Welsh painters such as Kyffin Williams and the influence of contemporary artists like Elfyn Lewis, remains deeply authentic and emotive.
Lunar Tide embodies his ability to capture not only the appearance of the land and sea, but their intangible moods, offering viewers a quiet sense of hiraeth and belonging.
