Oil painting. Scene of a woman walking on a sea wall after a hurricane. Tall slender woman with long wavy brown hair. She is wearing a short trench coat and leather walking boots. Her hair is whipping in the strong winds, and she is holding the collar of her trench coat closed to protect her face from the weather. Her cheeks are red from the wind and the salty spray of the ocean around her. The sea wall is approximately 25 feet above the water, but the violent waves crashing into the wall send ocean spray into the air. The large ocean waves are seen collecting in the background and they make their way toward the sea wall. The hurricane has just begun to pass. It is morning, and red sun is rising on the horizon. Half is the sky is still covered with the remainder of dark storm clouds as the last of the hurricane abates the scene in dramatic fashion. This provides a contrast at the top of the painting that transitions into the foreground contrast between the calm beautiful woman and the violent waters around her. The painting exhibits gradual tonal shifts in color from the dark storm clouds to the morning sun breaking through in the background. The brush strokes restrained and managed. The scene rather than the artist's brushstrokes provides movement. VibrantlyDark style. The work is unsigned.
