Phil (Contemporary), Dramatic Coastal Seascape with Crashing Waves - A contemporary coastal landscape painting, executed in acrylic or mixed media on board, depicting a dramatic and tempestuous seascape. The composition is centred on a rugged reddish-brown rock formation with white-crested waves crashing violently against it. The sky is filled with heavy, dark grey clouds and is structured by a sharp white horizon line. The brushwork is highly textured and energetic, utilising thick white highlights to convey the spray of the water. Signed Phil in white paint in the lower-left corner. The work is presented under glass in an ornate, cream-painted moulded frame with scrolled corners and foliate detailing in a Rococo-revival style. 42 cm x 52 cm (approximate, including frame).
