Easterly Flow is a powerful coastal landscape by William Lester Stevens. The painting depicts waves surging through a rugged rock formation, rendered with bold, gestural brushwork and a richly layered palette of earth tones, slate blues, and luminous whites. Stevens captures both the movement and weight of the sea, translating natural force into a modern, expressive visual language.
The composition is tightly structured yet dynamic, with angular rock forms contrasting against the rhythmic motion of the water. Stevens’ confident handling of paint—applied thickly and with visible energy—reflects his mature style and aligns this work with the modernist coastal scenes for which he is highly regarded. The painting conveys a sense of elemental power, solitude, and timelessness often associated with the New England shoreline.
An excellent example of early-to-mid 20th-century American coastal painting, Easterly Flow would be a strong addition to any collection of American Modernist, maritime, or New England art.
