A striking vintage nautical oil painting depicting a fully-rigged clipper ship under sail, painted by Tim Ard in 1978. Executed in oil on heavy masonite board, this substantial work measures 30 inches tall by 40 inches wide and captures remarkable color, movement, and light across the sea and sky.
The artist’s attention to rigging and sail detail gives this piece presence and craftsmanship rarely seen in contemporary marine art. The colors are rich yet serene — deep ocean greens, layered blues, and warm ivory sails — perfect for a Maine coastal home, nautical-chic interior, or collected seaside cottage.
The work is unframed but substantial enough to hang beautifully as-is, with natural patina and light surface wear consistent with age that add authentic character.
