One Hundred and Seventeen, a 16x20 inch plein air painting on board by John Beard, showing abstract coastal landscape tones

A path into light

Sun-warmed palms, a ribbon of lavender shadow, and blooms that seem to breathe. One Hundred and Seventeen carries the hush of late afternoon into the room.

Quiet plein air

Held moment, open sky

Collected, then released

Walls can feel like pauses with no breath in them. One Hundred and Seventeen opens a small, sunlit corridor in the day—greens layered with quick, confident marks, red blossoms pulsing at the edge. It invites the mind to step off the path of tasks and follow the bend into somewhere softer. The room relaxes a notch, and conversation follows.

What stays with you

This painting was made outside, in the weather of a real hour, and you can feel that immediacy at home. Brushwork holds the flicker of palms and the cool slip of shade, giving you a daily cue to notice the ordinary miracle of light. Art like this doesn’t shout; it steadies. Over time, it becomes part of how the space feels to live in.

For the ones who linger

Someone who reads a room through its light, collects originals, and wants a living reminder of color and air near the places people gather.

In the room

Hang One Hundred and Seventeen where afternoon light moves—above a console by the entry or near the dining table—so the shifting day deepens its greens and shadows.

About the maker

John Beard Collection

Raised in the Florida Keys, John Beard learned to see by the sea: swimming, sailing and building island forts informed a lifelong visual vocabulary. Family painting sessions and artist workshops kindled a practice that now favors coastal moods—abstract and representational treatments of shoreline vistas, towns and village scenes. For 17 years he also lived abroad doing humanitarian work across 35 nations, a chapter that deepened the quiet, human sensibility behind pieces such as Whispers on the Beach. Available as printed and framed canvas wall art, Beard’s work brings twilight tones and shoreline calm to walls and everyday rooms. Collectors choose his canvases when they want art that reads as memory and place rather than mere decoration.
