Lovran on Croatia’s Kvarner Bay and seafront promenade, captured on a warm summer afternoon.

A graceful watercolour painting of Lovran on Croatia’s Kvarner Bay, captured on a warm summer afternoon. A quiet seafront promenade curves gently along the Adriatic, lined with faded 19th-century villas in ochre and pale pastel tones, their balconies draped with flowering vines. Beyond the low stone balustrades, the calm turquoise sea stretches toward distant islands, its surface shimmering in soft sunlight. Cypress trees and Mediterranean pines frame the villas, while the sky is a pale azure with wisps of white cloud. Soft ochre, pastel cream, pale turquoise, muted green, and clear Adriatic blue conveys a timeless elegance and coastal stillness, rendered in loose washes for the sea and sky, with finer glazing and textures for architectural details.
