Titled "Crossing the Sands" this masterpiece is part of a series that beautifully depicts Morecambe Bay's coastal scenery. The Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery proudly houses this artwork, which embodies the essence of British heritage art.

Cox's meticulous attention to detail brings life to every element in this composition - from each stroke depicting sand particles to the intricate portrayal of birds in flight. The artist masterfully captures both male and female figures looking back at what lies behind them, evoking a sense of reflection and contemplation. The romanticism inherent in Cox's work shines through as he seamlessly blends natural beauty with human presence. This oil painting transports viewers to a bygone era where nature was revered for its awe-inspiring grandeur.
