Oil on canvas maritime landscape

Maritime landscape, oil on canvas from the studio of a contemporary painter. An airy and luminous composition depicting a panoramic view of an estuary or bay, with a light sandy beach in the foreground animated by small sketched figures. The gaze is guided towards the horizon by the expanse of green and turquoise water, on which two sailboats with white and golden sails are sailing. In the background, verdant islets planted with trees extend under a vast cloudy sky in shades of lavender blue and celadon. The texture is fluid and lively, worked with broad areas and visible gestural strokes, in a palette blending emerald greens, cerulean blues, golden sands, and pale mauves. The deliberately impressionistic treatment favours diffuse light, atmosphere, and chromatic vibration over the precision of drawing. A contemporary work evoking the tradition of plein air painting and the explorations of the masters of coastal impressionism. Unsigned. Square canvas of approximately 60×60 cm. Very good overall condition. Sold unframed.
