Lincolnville Beach
1956

A minimalist painting depicting four abstract figures sitting on a beach, with a vast expanse of yellow sand in the foreground, a strip of blue water in the middle, and a sliver of green land on the horizon under a pale sky. The figures are rendered in simple blocks of color with little detail, and the artist's signature is in the upper right corner.
