Ocean Splash — Fine Art

Ocean Splash by Eyvind Earle shows deep blue water and bright white water against a clean sky. The hard lines divide the picture into simple colour bands. The artist worked with flat colour and clear outline, a style common in mid century american illustration.

The fine art print sits on a wall where daylight comes from the side. A light frame keeps the blue tones looking soft and the white foam stays plain. The matte paper holds the sharp edges without a shine.

It fits above a kitchen sink where you stand at the counter. From the doorway the blue field reads first, then the white lines across the water. The room feels less crowded with the open sky behind the basin.
