About the Item

Maine Coast is a stunning original oil painting by celebrated American artist James Emery Greer (1903–1990), created in the 1930s. This masterful seascape captures the rugged beauty and elemental force of the Maine shoreline. Towering waves crash against timeworn granite rocks, while a clear, cloudless sky stretches endlessly above—offering a powerful contrast between motion and stillness, energy and peace. Greer’s expressive brushwork and rich textures evoke the sensory experience of standing on the windswept coast—feeling the salty air, hearing the roar of the surf, and witnessing the raw splendor of nature. His ability to balance drama with serenity makes this composition especially compelling. The painting is presented in its original vintage frame, enhancing its coastal charm and historical authenticity. Framed dimensions: 32 x 44 x 2 ½ inches. Image size: 24 x 36 inches. This exceptional oil painting is an ideal centerpiece for coastal interiors, fine art collections, or nature-inspired spaces. A timeless tribute to the American seacoast, Maine Coast showcases Greer’s distinctive gift for translating the natural world into emotionally resonant works of art.
