Sunshine on a Rainy Day by British artist Sam Toft

captures the playful resilience of finding joy whatever the weather. Against a backdrop of brightly painted beach huts and a vivid blue sky, Mr. Ernest Hemingway Mustard battles the breeze with an inside-out umbrella, Doris faithfully by his side. The golden sun peeks through, adding a cheerful warmth to the scene. With her trademark whimsy and gentle humour, Toft reminds us that a splash of colour — and a good friend — can brighten even the blusteriest of days.

This piece is a limited edition giclée print on high-quality textured paper, created using Toft's signature mixed media style, which often includes oil pastels, inks, and pencil work layered to achieve her distinctive, tactile effect. The artwork is printed to archival standards, preserving the texture, tone, and playful energy of the original.
