About the Item

Summertime in Martha's Vineyard is drenched in saturated yellows and reds. People in the foreground look out to the sea. Two people on horseback are masterfully rendered in a loose but academically correct style. Watercolor on paper laid on board. Unframed. The work looks much better in person with colors that are even more vibrant, saturated and pop. The uploaded video on 1stDibs is coming up a bit off color.
