A Sunny Place Beside the Water

Afternoon at the Pool is an 8 × 8-inch canvas featuring a sunlit, mid-century-inspired motor court pool. A yellow-and-cream striped lounger sits beneath a matching umbrella, with coral cat-eye sunglasses and a folded towel waiting beside the turquoise water. Palm trees rise above low cream buildings, coral doors, and flowering greenery, while distant mountains meet a clear blue sky.

The curved pool edge draws the eye through the scene. Chrome catches the sunlight, reflections ripple across the water, and the broad stripes give the foreground a cheerful rhythm. Small details suggest someone has just stepped away for a swim, leaving the afternoon pleasantly unfinished.

Color and Detail on Canvas

The square canvas format gives this richly detailed scene a compact presence. Bright turquoise and golden yellow lead the palette, balanced by warm cream, coral accents, and leafy greens. The visible canvas texture complements the artwork’s sunlit surfaces and softly rendered details.

From the lounger’s polished curves to the decorative breeze-block walls, the composition brings together the architectural confidence and everyday pleasures of a mid-century vacation. Its appeal lies in the whole scene, with enough detail to reward a closer look.

An Afternoon at the Starlite

Part of Mirabilia’s Chrome & Starlight collection, this artwork offers a poolside moment at the fictional Starlite Motor Court. Here, the room is waiting, the water is inviting, and there may be somewhere wonderful to go later. For now, there is time to enjoy the sunshine.

Chrome & Starlight celebrates anticipation, movement, and sociability through colorful places and familiar rituals. Afternoon at the Pool captures its leisurely side: a pause between arriving and getting ready for the evening.

A Little Vacation Color at Home

Display this small canvas on a bookshelf, console, or bedroom shelf where its turquoise water and sunny stripes can bring color to an everyday corner. It sits naturally alongside warm wood, cream ceramics, leafy plants, and mid-century furnishings.

A thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys poolside holidays, roadside architecture, or colorful vintage-inspired interiors, it offers a small view of an afternoon with very little on the agenda.
