This painting glows. Sunrise heats morning skies and reflects in harbor waters. Sailboats and skiffs are in dark shadow, providing sharp contrast to brilliantly lit sky and sea. We love this painting; it is impressive. Executed on a 36" x 48" canvas and measuring 42" x 54" including traditional frame, the painting details a vivid sky, reflective waters and an emerging sun. Boats in the water are only supporting characters in the early morning drama. Notice that the boats are rendered in a series of very dark blues. As seen here on the easel--on the studio wall--and in the living room, the boats read as inky-blue/black against the contrasting "hot" colors of sky and sea. This work is PAINTERLY--obvious and detailed brushwork, thick use of oil paint, sometimes cresting off the canvas. The composition expert. As you might guess, we love this painting. (sometimes it is really hard to let them go) In this day and age of Artificial Intelligence, we offer a Certification of Authenticity upon sale and request.
