Steamship Signed Painting

Oil on canvas board with signs of age

Signed P. P. '85

Rendered in a simple, nautical folk-art style, with spare lines and an intentionally unpolished hand

Loose brushwork and uneven details add to the honest, handmade character where simplicity is very much the charm

The flattened perspective, simplifieed forms and limited palette also give it a primitive appeal

Bold fields of color would be good for leaned layering on a shelf

Suitable for framing

1985
