It’s often the simplest moments that become the best memories.

In Skimming Stones, Janet Gammans captures an adult and child together at the water’s edge, taking turns to send stones bouncing across the surface of the sea. Whether you see a father and son or a grandfather and grandson, there’s a wonderful sense of companionship in this familiar seaside ritual.

Soft greys, blues and sandy tones create a beautifully atmospheric backdrop, while their reflections shimmer across the wet sand. Look towards the water and you can almost follow the path of the stones, with sea spray and circling birds adding movement to the scene.

Quietly nostalgic and full of feeling, Skimming Stones is an original painting that celebrates time spent together – and those little moments we remember long after the day is over.
