A striking New England coastal scene by Albany, NY artist Louis Pelky (1921-2015), painted in his characteristic impasto style with richly textured brushwork that gives the composition real physical depth and presence. The scene depicts a quiet Maine harbor at low tide — a weathered fishing shack sits on pilings over steel-blue water, while a vivid red dory rests on the rocky shore in the foreground. Signed lower right: Louis Pelky. Artist's label on verso identifies the scene as "Lobstermans Cove," Maine. Framed in a rustic distressed oak frame with a warm gold liner — the wood grain and natural wormhole character of the frame suit the coastal subject perfectly. Framed dimensions: 30" W × 26" H x 2.375" D Medium: oil on board
