Cool Breeze – 20 × 30 in – Chris DeRubeis

The Artwork

Cool Breeze is a 20 × 30-inch original that radiates serenity and movement, capturing the timeless beauty of a moment by the sea. The silhouette of a woman stands gracefully in the foreground, her dress and hair flowing as if caught by the gentle sweep of an ocean breeze. Around her, birds glide across the horizon, adding a sense of freedom and open space.

The background explodes with luminous waves of blue, turquoise, bronze, and white, swirling like rolling tides and shifting skies. This interplay of color and light mimics the natural rhythms of wind and water, immersing the viewer in a scene that feels alive and constantly changing. The reflective metal surface enhances this effect, transforming the artwork as the light around it changes—sometimes glowing with warmth, other times shimmering cool and calm.

Cool Breeze is a deeply atmospheric piece, offering both tranquility and energy, and reminding us of the quiet strength and beauty found in nature’s simplest moments.
