Provenance: All the paintings we have for sale by this artist have come from the artists estate and have had no previous owners at all. Description: This evocative painting presents a moody, atmospheric view of a coastal landscape, dominated by dramatic clouds and subdued colors that evoke the quiet stillness before or after a storm. The artist’s loose brushwork and muted gray and blue palette enhance the feeling of calm isolation, with soft dabs of lighter tones hinting at subtle light breaking through the clouds. In the foreground, a small rowboat, its hull highlighted with touches of blue and red, sits anchored in the reflective, glassy waters. The surrounding rocks and distant markers add depth and context to the scene, guiding the viewer’s gaze from the foreground to the distant horizon. The simplicity of the composition, with its delicate balance between land, water, and sky, creates a sense of quiet introspection and a timeless connection to nature.
