EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries with this enchanting watercolour painting by Malcolm Greensmith, titled "Seaside Scene - Turn of the Century." The idyllic coastal view transports us to an era of simple pleasures and carefree holidays. Children frolic in the sand, their laughter carried on the gentle breeze as they build sandcastles and splash in the surf. With spades in hand, they dig deep holes, their determination evident in every stroke. Nearby, a young girl in a frilly dress and ribbons in her hair gazes out at the vast expanse of the sea, her curiosity piqued by the ebb and flow of the tide. Parents, elegantly dressed in their Sunday best, take leisurely strolls along the promenade, enjoying the salty air and picturesque views. A sailor, fresh from the sea, pauses to watch the scene unfold, his heart filled with nostalgia for simpler times. Intrepid bathers make their way to the bathing machines, striped contraptions that provided a modicum of privacy for those seeking to take a dip in the sea. The machines, pulled by horses, were a common sight on English beaches during this era, offering a degree of discretion for those who wished to bathe in the nude. The cliffs in the distance loom majestically over the scene, their rugged beauty a testament to the power of the sea. Puddles dot the sand, reflecting the clear blue sky above, while the sun casts a warm glow over the entire tableau. Malcolm Greensmith's masterful brushstrokes bring this bygone era to life, capturing the essence of a holiday by the sea in a time when life moved at a slower pace. This painting is a must-have for anyone who appreciates the history and charm of the English coastline.
