Morning Light at St Ives

SOLD

A brilliantly executed modernist style Cornish artwork that captures a serene and picturesque moment in the coastal town of St Ives, painted in oil onto canvas.

The composition captures a tranquil harbour scene in the early morning, with boats gently bobbing on the water and as the sun’s golden hues shimmer across the rippling sea.

Taking on an impressionist technique, the artwork focuses on capturing light, colour, and atmosphere at a fleeting moment in time, rather than intricate detail.

The artist has confidently executed loose and expressive brushstrokes, creating an impression of spontaneity. The strokes are visible and swift, adding vibrancy to the scene, and an emphasis on texture.

The colour palette is harmonious, dominated by cool tones such as muted greens, blues, and greys, contrasting beautifully with the warm yellows of the reflected sunlight.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary light grey frame with a wide inner white recessed border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some very light marks and small loss along the top edge that is only noticeable upon closer inspection, as shown in close ups.

Size: 68 x 78 cm (including frame)
