The Gorge — Fine Art

The Gorge - Appledore, Isles of Shoals shows a rocky channel cut through a shoreline, with cool blue and grey tones sitting against a muted sky. Broad painted strokes build the water and stone in the American impressionist style. The picture reads from a distance as a quiet seashore scene.

The fine art finish on this print uses a frame in white, wood, dark wood or black, and that frame edge keeps the painted strokes clear against the wall. A matte surface keeps the blues from shining under a lamp.

It fits a narrow hallway where the light comes from a side door. From the hall you see the big shapes of rock and water, and near the frame you notice the small painted marks.
