Boat, Sea and Sky: Green and Red Sea, Grey Sky
1944

An expressive oil painting depicting a rough sea with a sailboat, rendered in bold, swirling strokes of blue, white, and green. The artwork is signed and dated in the lower right corner. It is framed in a unique, textured frame that includes patches of color, possibly mimicking the style of the painting itself.
