The 1947

Painted in 1947, this expressive oil captures the shifting textures of land and sea with a palette alive in earth tones, deep greens, and blues. The surface is richly worked, layers of paint applied with a vigorous hand that suggests movement, the restless tide, the wind brushing over grasses, the land meeting the horizon in flux. There’s a tactile immediacy to the brushwork, a postwar modernity that leans toward abstraction while never fully relinquishing its ties to landscape. Framed in gilt wood softened by age, the work embodies a moment when painting sought to capture not only place, but sensation itself.
