Mid February View of an English Coastal Town
oil on board
Oil on board painting is an impressionist-style oil painting of a coastal scene likely depicting a beach town in England. Signed "HENELSON" (possibly a Herold E. Nelson?) lower left hand corner. The painting features a textured application of paint with visible brushstrokes. In the foreground, the turbulent sea is rendered with shades of green and white, with dark rocks framing the bottom edge. A dilapidated wooden structure, possibly a breakwater or remnants of a pier, stretches across the lower center. The middle ground is dominated by a sandy beach, transitioning into a densely packed town with buildings painted in a variety of colors, suggesting a vibrant community. A prominent, tall yellow structure stands out against the town. The sky, painted with soft blues and grays, hints at an overcast day, contributing to the overall mood of the scene. Framed. -
