A View From the Cabin

Framed. 10" x 12". This scene of a boat sailing across a rocky shore comes from South Wales; that's an old parish church on the coast behind. The white blotches in the forefront are my poor photography; I couldn't get a shot without reflection off the glass. The double matting of gray and navy is beautiful, and the frame can either be hung or set on a table top by folding out the frame's arm. A great painting for anyone who appreciates rocky, wild coasts.
