Hardie’s treatment of light in this beautiful landscape is so painterly. The sands almost sparkle with her pointillist-like approach. The simple scene transports the viewer to serenity. Her composition gives a taste of the turquoise waters beyond the beach ready for discovery. It is a bright painting in an impressionistic style finished with an ornate neutral frame and signed lower left.
