Seapiece
1951

An expressive oil painting depicting a turbulent sea with frothy waves in various shades of blue, white, and green. The sky above is rendered in muted tones of beige and gray, suggesting a stormy or overcast atmosphere. The brushwork is dynamic and thick, conveying movement and the chaotic nature of the ocean. The painting is signed and dated in the lower right corner.
