A group of Kelantanese women dressed in batik sarongs are seen walking along the shoreline, in a relaxed manner. Their bodies are moving along with a gust of wind blown from the sea, with each pose captured well to suggest movement and life. A variety of subtle shades were used to depict the shadows and wet coastal sand.
One of the best southpaws in Malaysian art, Khalil Ibrahim was sent on a Pahang government scholarship to study art at the St. Martin's School of Art and Design in London in 1959-1964, for his National Diploma in Design. He spent another year for his post-graduate in 1965. After a very brief teaching stint on his return, he was released from his bond, and he decided to paint fulltime since 1966. In 1970, he was given his first solo at the Samat Art Gallery, of his batiks and watercolours, and he also had a solo exhibition in Indonesia that year. Khalil was a co-founder of the Malaysian Watercolour Society and rose to vice-president once. One of his main exhibitions is Khalil Ibrahim: A Continued Dialogue, held at Galeri Petronas in 2004.
