SEASCAPE
Signed "Diane"

Original oil on canvas board

Circa 1970s–1980s

A small, atmospheric seascape rendered in warm, earthy tones, depicting waves breaking beneath a dramatic, light-filled sky. Executed with expressive, textured brushwork, the composition beautifully captures the movement of the sea and the changing light along the horizon.

Presented in its rustic wood frame with woven liner, this original oil possesses a quiet, moody character and timeless appeal. Though artist is most likely a regional artist, the painting is signed, ‘Diane’,  the painting stands on its own through its composition.
