Relaxing at the Beach

Still water laps gently against warm sand as distant figures stand quietly in the shallows, letting time stretch and soften. Relaxing at the Beach invites you to pause — to feel the hush of the tide, the warmth of bare feet on sunlit sand, and the peace found in simply being. With minimal detail and a masterful sense of calm, Nicholas Hayter’s impressionist brushwork captures a fleeting scene that feels both grounded and dreamlike.

This work reflects Hayter’s love for New Zealand’s coastline — not in grandeur, but in the soft rhythm of its everyday beauty.
