Blue Harbor. Turunc (2026) Original Oil Painting by Simon Kozhin

The artist painted this study from life during a creative trip to Turunc, Turkey, in 2026, completing it in a single session using the alla prima technique. A serene coastal scene unfolds through a delicate play of pale tones. Soft azure skies merge with the shimmering surface of the sea. The brushwork is textured and rhythmic. Small boats drift lazily across the water. Their reflections create subtle ripples in the stillness. In the background, rugged cliffs rise against the horizon. The light catches the golden edges of the rocks. This creates a warm contrast with the cooling blue palette. The atmosphere is one of profound tranquility. It evokes a quiet afternoon by the mediterranean coast. The artist captures a fleeting moment of light and air. Every stroke adds to the sense of depth and space. The composition leads the eye from the foreground vessels toward the distant shoreline. It is a meditative study of nature and serenity. The artwork remains focused on the harmony between the land and the tide. A soft glow permeates the scene. This highlights the gentle transition between the pale sky and the muted turquoise sea.
