A Study in Scarlet

Set against the striking red sunrise of Rye Harbour, A Study in Scarlet is a meditation on atmosphere, light, and mystery. The painting is built upon a bold red underpainting, allowing the dawn’s intensity to seep through the layers of deep black. At its heart stands the iconic red and black hut, an anchor in the composition, while in the foreground, a lone figure digs in the sand. Is he searching for something lost, or concealing a secret? The answer remains elusive, left to the imagination. Achieved through instinctive, expressive brushstrokes, this piece balances on the edge of chaos - where a single mark can break the illusion or bring forth something extraordinary.
