Original artwork description:

This unusual and cheering work depicts a row of beach huts on the English coast, under a pale blue sky, the air redolent of salt and vinegar, the tang of brine. In the near distance the cries of seagulls, according to Saxon legend, the voices of lost sailors and other celestial messengers. The colours are vivid, each hut striving for individuality perhaps, against the pressure of conforming to the established line. The work is rich in realism and detail. Texture has been added to create extra depth. The canvas is 0.5 inches deep and can therefore hang without a frame if wished.
