Henri, Robert, Monhegan Island
Monhegan Island.
Painting with a limited palette (in this case almost monochrome) can create powerful images, and allows the artist to concentrate on elements of painting other than color, such as tone, brushwork and composition.

There is one painting of an English man-o'-war of Nelson's era in your gallery marked "unknown". I believe this is the work of Geoff Hunt done for the cover of Patrick O'Brian's book "The Yellow Admiral". I think the ship is HMS Bellonia.
To paint the sea, you must love it, and to love it, you must know the sea. - Frederick Judd Waugh

This blog is intended as a reference resource for seascape painters (particularly those working in oils) and for art lovers. It's a mix of nautical/maritime art, seascapes and coastal scenes, both old and new. The blog is of a non-profit, educational nature; however, if you are the owner of an image and would like it removed, please advise in a comment to the post. Add comments by clicking on the word 'comments' under a post.
Copyright of images of paintings on this blog are usually held by the artist or owner and are not generally in the public domain.
A large proportion of the artists are from the US simply because their work seems to be easier to find on the internet, and perhaps the genre is more popular there, but suggestions of famous painters from other countries (and for the blog in general) are welcome.
Apologies if a link to an artist's or gallery's website has been inadvertantly omitted. If you are interested in seeing more, or purchasing, work by any of the artists on this site, google their full name in inverted commas, with perhaps the word 'paintings' or 'artist' and it should take you to their site or the site of a gallery representing them.
