Pastel coloured houses and marshmallow seas may sound spookily similar to the phrases contained in a certain Beatles song, yet in this case we’re waxing lyrical about the colour and texture effects epitomized by Rebecca Lardner in this lovely harbour-side composition.

In fact, the only aspect that isn’t daubed in picture postcard hues and saturations are the roofs of said fishermen’s dwellings and the harbour wall itself; which are finished off in seaweed and barnacle green. And grey.

Celebrated landscape artist, Lardner may not be a salty sea dog herself, but she sure knows how to visually document the life and times of those that are, as well as capturing the essence of the daily routine for every member of a typical coastal community such as the one observed here.
