Original Tropical Seascape Watercolor Painting by Eddie Vyhital

This item is an original watercolor painting depicting a tropical coastal scene, likely a Hawaiian landscape given the 'Aloha' inscription. The artwork is executed on heavy-weight watercolor paper with a distinctive deckled or hand-torn right edge, which has been float-mounted to showcase the paper's texture. The composition features vibrant turquoise and cerulean blue waters in the foreground and middle ground, with two volcanic-style islands or small mountains on the horizon under a bright blue sky. A portion of a sandy beach is visible in the lower-left corner, and a bright, stylized sun or moon occupies the upper-left quadrant. The painting is signed in the lower right margin on the backing board with the handwritten inscription 'Aloha ~ Eddie Vyhital'. The style is illustrative and contemporary, utilizing wet-on-wet techniques to achieve the soft gradients in the water. The piece is professionally framed under glass with a multi-layered matting system consisting of a pale blue outer mat and a thin orange inner accent mat. The condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, fading, or moisture damage to the paper or pigments. The craftsmanship is high, reflecting a specific regional art style popular in the late 20th to early 21st century.
