I was recently at an auction of some wonderful Cape Ann paintings. I have often admired Paul George paintings as I see them in collections around New England. I was lucky enough to just acquire 2 of them that I am offering this week. For those not familiar with the artist, I have included his biography below. This is one of his most classic images. A large view of waves crashing through Bass Rocks in Gloucester Massachusetts. A large gouache and watercolor on paper measuring 21 x 28 inches. Signed lower left. Painting is in perfect as painted condition. Stunning white cap waves contrasting against the vibrant brown and reds of the rocks and the blue ocean and sky in the distance. Just a beautiful work. Archival matte and gold frame are the perfect compliment and presentation. Ready to hang. Verso has the artist's biography from his website with a picture of what looks like this painting. Just the complete package. Frame measures 28 3/4 x 35 3/4 inches. If you collect Paul George or Cape Ann paintings, make sure you check my store. A great chance to pick up some of the artist's work for a fraction of the gallery pricing.
