Beach, Flint Island, Maine
1952

An abstract painting with a blend of neutral and earthy tones, accented by strokes of blue and red. The composition is dynamic, with a mix of thick and thin brushstrokes creating a sense of movement. The artist's signature and the year '52 are visible in the lower right corner.
