About the Item

'Seaward', depicting a cargo ship exiting Golden Gate, passing Seal Rock, and entering the Pacific.Ocean, is a highly collectable original 10 x 16 inch watercolor painting by Internationally acclaimed American Realist James Torlakson. The work is currently unframed (and will ship flat) however wholesale framing is available - please inquire within. "Torlakson's work depicts majesty in the mundane, featuring everyday “Americana" scenes include suburban landscapes, traveling carnivals, standing fireworks booths, abandoned drive-in theaters, and autobiographical still life scenes from his Bay Area neighborhood memories and travels. Torlakson is a contemporary artist, proficiently working in oil, watercolor and intaglio etching, and employing European master techniques to create compelling works that pull the viewer in and tell universal stories of our times.
