This work is part of a series of seven paintings that Graça Pereira Coutinho made in the final year of her course at Saint Martin's School of Art. In these works we can glimpse the raw fabric of the canvas, crossed by a grid traced in coloured pencil. The overlapping strokes of acrylic paint maintain a pasty quality, and the marks of the brush are imprinted on them. In ethereal pastel tones, the brushstrokes go in all directions, sometimes flowing like a tranquil ripple on water, sometimes changing suddenly as if touched by the wind. Evoking a celestial or aquatic landscape, the paintings reveal the artist's fascination with the English landscape tradition, in particular the work of Turner and Constable, but also with the characteristic luminosity of Matisse and Bonnard.
