This watercolour by Peter Haworth, titled Low Tide, captures an abstracted interpretation of a shoreline landscape where land and water intermingle in organic, rhythmic forms.

Rendered in a striking palette of purples, greens, and ochres, the composition explores the textural transitions of receding water over tidal flats. The artist employs translucent washes and controlled bleeds to evoke both movement and depth, with darker passages suggesting shadowed pools, while the lighter, mottled zones imply kelp-covered rock.

Haworth’s structural approach to design—a hallmark of his style—gives the scene an almost mosaic-like quality, where each area of colour seems both independent and harmoniously integrated into the whole. The interplay of fluid organic shapes and bold contrasts creates a sense of natural rhythm, turning the ordinary observation of low tide into a study of abstraction and form.
