In this painting, the majestic beauty of the East Coast is pictured through its coastal shores. A sense of peace and freedom is evoked through the scene, as groups of figures could be seen strolling across the soft white sand enveloped by blue waters and clear skies. Khalil seems to have been intrigued with the large rock formations on the right, articulating the forms with muted brown and green hues. Shafts of light softly emanates through the cluster of billowy clouds, increasing the beauty of the scene. Khalil Ibrahim graduated with a National Diploma of Design in Fine Arts at the prestigious St. Martin's School of Art and Design in London in 1964 (post-graduate in 1965). He turned into a full-time artist in 1966. Khalil was a co-founder of the Malaysian Watercolour Society and had his first double solo of London works and Malaysian batiks at Samat Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur in 1970. That year, he also had a solo exhibition in Indonesia, the first Malaysian to have done so. He has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Switzerland and his works have been collected by the National Museum in Singapore, Fukuoka Museum of Art in Japan, New South Wales Museum of Art in Sydney, and the Royal National Art Gallery of Jordan.
