Seaside Village
$1100
36″ x 24″ Acrylic and collage on canvas panel, professionally framed
The Seaside Village painting has a sense of charm and memory with its naive and folk-like rendering of a set of buildings huddled together on a hillside next to a harbor.
Geometric forms and clearly defined edges define each building, distinguished further by variations in color and small details like doors and windows. A small red sailboat provides a point of interest and reinforces the coastal setting. The emphasis is on capturing the sense of a place.
The painting began as a brown paper bag collage that evolved into a landscape. Acrylic paint was applied thickly and handprinted papers added to the texture and somewhat unrestrained style.
