HARBOUR FRONT
Size: 18.1 x 18.1 inches (including frame)
Mixed Media on Board
A charming harbour town scene painted in 2023, by British artist Elaine Allender.
This quayside scene has been built up in layers of paper and paint. We see the village houses tumbling down to the quay, the old harbour walls and a couple of boats moored up on the sea. The painting is full of texture, and has some of the charming roughness associated with real harbours.
The upper half is dominated by rows of houses with varied shapes and sizes, featuring pitched roofs and small windows. The colour palette of the buildings includes soft blues, earthy browns, and muted creams, adding a rustic and weathered charm. The architectural details, like chimneys and rooflines, are rendered with textured brushstrokes, enhancing depth and realism. The water reflects the dock and buildings above, rendered in soft, blended tones of blue, peach, and grey, creating a shimmering, rippled effect. The sky occupies the top portion of the painting, featuring dynamic swirls of soft blues and creamy yellows, suggesting a bright, breezy day.
Bright orange buoy-like accents and lifebuoys add pops of colour, drawing attention to specific elements in the scene. The painting’s layered textures and varied strokes add a tactile quality that conveys the atmosphere of a working harbour.
Overall, the painting beautifully captures the essence of a quaint seaside village, with its blend of rustic charm, lively textures, and serene maritime elements.
The painting is bordered by a clean, lime-waxed wooden tray frame that complements the coastal theme. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.
