Island Village, Coast of Maine — Fine Art

Island Village, Coast of Maine shows a small cluster of houses along a shore, with the sea and sky behind them. Rockwell Kent drew the buildings with clear lines and broad areas of color, so the scene reads as a steady place rather than a busy one.

The fine art print uses a matte finish on the paper, so the flat tones in the sky and the sea keep their quiet tone. A white frame gives the picture a clean edge and keeps the line of the coast sharp against the wall.

On a bedroom wall, the print sits above the bed and the sea line runs straight across. From the doorway you notice the row of roofs first, and when you step nearer the pencil lines on the water come into view.
