Painted using different tones, Lardner refers a small fishing town, and the atmosphere of the day drawing to a close.
As the fisherman gather to finish their days work, a scenic atmosphere of collected boats is very much at the forefront of this painting.
There is a pleasant and calming feel to this image despite the title, 'Hustle and Bustle'. The sense of looking beyond the image and way out into the sea means the spectator can get lost in thought.
Rebecca Lardner: 'On The Home Stretch,' is a box canvas one can easily become fascinated by.
Clearly the title means the fishermen of this quaint little village have enjoyed their long day at sea and are now returning home for their well deserved supper.
In the painting we can clearly see on the right hand side, many families waiting patiently to greet their loved ones; while on the left hand side of the artwork, people are continuing to use their fishing rods for their own catches, as evening begins to draw in.
This limited edition box canvas, is a typically vibrant and bustling Rebecca Lardner painting. I like to stare into the distance and the foreground and wonder what lies beyond.
