Moonlight Walkers II by Stella Dunkley
Moonlight Walkers II by Stella Dunkley

There is something mysterious about Stella Dunkley’s artworks, something which invites viewers into an ethereal universe, made up from three main elements: water, the moon’s reflection and a colourful sky. Moonlight Walkers II is no exception. But apart from the recognizable elements, the painting has an extra element, the couple walking along the beach.

Created in oil and mixed media on canvas, the artwork is calming and inviting. The predominant colour is blue and we can also see hints of yellow, orange and purple in the moon’s reflection in the sea.

When talking about her inspiration, Stella Dunkley says: “I’m inspired by my surroundings. I live in a beautiful area of the south coast, the sea, the changing light, reflections on the water; I try to capture the atmosphere, even on a gloomy day the sea can have a magical quality, the sky over the sea when there’s a storm brewing, boats moored at sunset, all these views inspire me to create.”

“I’ll often take a walk by the sea and return to the studio with a clearer insight into how to progress with a painting. I enjoy creating art that is uplifting, that transports the viewer to a different place, that connects with their emotions, paintings that give an insight into my unique interpretation of the landscape and my intuitive approach to art”, the artist concludes.
