The sky is a muted gray, suggesting a stormy atmosphere, but the light is still bright enough to illuminate the water's surface. The painting is a testament to Holmes's skill as a marine artist, and his ability to convey the movement and energy of the sea.

Archival Giclée Prints
Every print is made with giclée printing on archival materials: thick, acid-free canvas or 340 gsm cotton rag paper.
The inks are rated for more than 100 years of fade resistance.
Natural Wood Frames
Our floating frames are made of wood, in up to six finishes. The canvas sits inside the frame with a small gap, so it appears to float.
Every Piece is Handmade
Each canvas is hand-stretched over solid wood stretcher bars. Framed pieces are then set into a wooden floater frame and arrive with hanging wire attached.
Careful Packaging
We carefully wrap and protect your artwork using extra padding and secure packaging for its journey to your home. And if your print arrives damaged, we reprint it or refund your order.
