This beautiful painting was done on black velvet, a popular material for oil paintings in the mid century era. This one is done in tones of muted pinks and green with creamy white accents. The frame is black with inner white trim and a gold wash. It is wooden as well as the stretcher the painting is on. The stretcher has a signature which I can’t make out and I think also the measurements. It is 18×10.75″ including the frame. The frame was nailed with old school nails…shown. There’s a paint chip on the back of the frame and a small one on the bottom corner of the white trim, both shown. This is a great piece for displaying in a mid century modern themed room or for collectors of oil on black velvet.
Hand-painted original watercolor artwork depicting a multi-masted sailing vessel struggling against turbulent dark waves and a stormy sky. The composition utilizes heavy wet-on-wet layering and dark indigo and umber pigments to convey movement, contrasted by white gouache or lifting for sea foam. A group of seagulls is visible in the foreground near rocky outcrops, while the background features a hazy, overcast atmosphere. This dramatic maritime piece serves as a striking focal point for a coastal-themed office or study. Size: 21 × 29 cm (8.3 x 11.4 inches). Original artwork, unframed, shipped in protective packaging.
