Frederick Judd Waugh - American
The Spell of the Sea, 25 x 30 inches
.
The choice of a grey sky, rather than blue, allows the painting to focus on the dramatic white foam contrasted with the dark rocks. Focussing on a single element as subject makes for a much more powerful image.

Scene Near Camden, Penobscot Bay, Maine,
27 x 22 inches
The strip of shining water provides a nice contrasting element to the dark horizontals of the boat hulls.
Frederick Judd Waugh - American 1861-1940
Green Wave, 1935, 24 x 32 inches
Reddish hues in the rocks bring out the green of the wave, the subject of the painting.
John A Noble - American 1923 - 1983
Raising the Jib, 63 x 82 cm
Interesting contrast between loose expressive brushstrokes in the background, and precise drawing in the foreground.
