Ben Lucas's "That Day in June" envelops viewers in the atmospheric beauty of a coastal landscape rendered with remarkable sensitivity. This substantial oil on canvas (104 x 104 cm framed) captures the ethereal quality of light playing across sea and sky, with a palette dominated by luminous blues, soft whites, and touches of ochre and gold. Lucas employs a masterful balance of gestural brushwork and delicate detailing, creating a composition where the boundary between sea and shore seems to shift before our eyes. The artist's technique—with its layered application of paint and strategic areas of transparency—evokes the sensory experience of standing by the sea on a day when sunlight filters through cloud, bringing an emotional resonance that speaks to memory and the fleeting nature of perfect moments in nature.

Coastal Reflections and Interior Spaces
When displayed in a living space, "That Day in June" creates a focal point that expands the boundaries of a room, offering a window to the sea that changes with the ambient light throughout the day. The generous square format gives the piece a commanding presence without overwhelming its surroundings, while its harmonious colour palette complements both contemporary and traditional interiors. The painting's abstracted elements invite personal interpretation, allowing viewers to connect the scene with their own coastal memories and experiences. Lucas's work exemplifies contemporary British landscape painting's ability to capture not just the visual aspects of our natural environment, but also the emotional response it evokes—creating a daily reminder of the restorative power of connection with nature and the timeless appeal of the British coastline.
