'Breaking Through' Original Oil Painting of Dramatic Sky over Poole Harbour from Whitecliffe - 'Breaking Through' is an original oil painting by Dorset-based artist Kate Shephard, capturing the breathtaking view of Poole Harbour from Whitecliffe Park. This one-of-a-kind piece brings to life the energy of the coastline with a powerful and expressive sky breaking through clouds, using a vibrant palette of reds, blues, yellows and whites.
Inspired by my love of the local landscape, this painting was born from a late afternoon/evening walk along Whitecliffe Park where the interplay of light, sea and sky was utterly captivating.
Painted using high-quality oil paints on canvas, 'Breaking Through' showcases dynamic brushwork and emotional depth. The layered sky and shimmering water echo the natural drama of the south coast, while the palette brings a sense of warmth, hope, and contrast. The use of red against cooler tones gives the piece energy and movement, while the whites and yellows highlight the breaking light that defines the scene.
This painting is unique – a one-off piece created by hand with no reproductions. It holds a strong sense of place and emotional resonance, making it perfect for anyone who holds Dorset or coastal scenes close to their heart.
'Breaking Through' would be a striking addition to a living room, hallway, or office – anywhere you’d like to bring in a bold and uplifting reminder of nature’s power and beauty. Its colours work beautifully in both neutral and colourful interiors, and the coastal subject adds a touch of tranquillity and depth to any space.
This piece also makes a thoughtful and memorable gift. Whether for a birthday, anniversary, retirement, or housewarming, it’s ideal for art lovers, Dorset locals, or anyone who finds joy in dramatic seascapes. For someone with a special connection to Poole or the Jurassic Coast, it’s a deeply personal and meaningful present that they will treasure for years to come.
Add 'Breaking Through' to your collection and bring home a piece of the south coast, captured with heart and soul by artist Kate Shephard.
