Coastal weather and the working shore

Hurricane, Bahamas shows palms bent by strong wind above low buildings under dark cloud. Other sea subjects turn to boats, exposed coasts and people close to the water. The range allows threatening weather to be compared with calmer shorelines and more intimate moments of coastal life.

Children and the countryside

Snap the Whip follows a line of children playing on grass near a red schoolhouse. Their linked bodies give the scene a lively rhythm against the settled buildings and distant land. Other rural subjects include schoolrooms, horses and people engaged in ordinary tasks, extending the collection beyond the coast.

Woodland and outdoor pursuits

On the Trail places a figure and dogs within a wooded setting, where slender trunks and autumn foliage fill the view. Such works make a useful contrast with the broad horizons of the sea paintings. Explore landscape art for other wooded and rural scenes.
