About the Item

This expressive coastal painting by George Ennis captures a lively harbor scene set against dramatic, rising cliffs and verdant hillsides. Executed in oil with confident, energetic brushwork, the composition features sailboats gliding across deep blue water, their white and red sails animated by wind and light. A cluster of shoreline structures anchors the foreground, lending a sense of human presence within the grandeur of the natural landscape. Ennis’s bold palette—rich greens, slate blues, and soft sky tones—reflects the influence of American Impressionism while retaining a distinctly modern, painterly sensibility. The thick application of paint and visible brushstrokes create movement and texture throughout, particularly in the sky and water, enhancing the painting’s immediacy and atmosphere. This work exemplifies Ennis’s ability to balance structure and spontaneity, making it a compelling addition for collectors of American coastal and maritime art.
