Jolomo Appraisal

Jolomo Seascape with House and Boat Print

This item is a framed art print depicting a vibrant seascape scene, likely a giclée print or similar reproduction method given the smooth texture and lack of visible brushstrokes common in original paintings. The artwork features a distinctive, dynamic style characterized by bold, impasto-like strokes of color despite being a print, which is a signature of the artist Jolomo (John Lowrie Morrison). The composition includes a white house with a dark roof nestled amongst dark green trees on a hilly, orange-brown landscape in the upper left. The foreground is dominated by a body of water, rendered in shades of deep blue and bright turquoise, reflecting hints of green and orange. A small, dark yellow boat with a hint of red marking is visible on the water. The immediate foreground features a bank of bright orange-yellow grassy reeds, providing a strong contrast to the blues of the water. The print is signed 'Jolomo' in the lower right corner in a handwritten script, matching the commonly known signature of John Lowrie Morrison. The colors are rich and saturated, indicative of a professional-quality print. It is presented within a mat board, likely white or off-white, and encased in a metallic frame, appearing to be brass or a similar gold-toned metal with a subtle textured finish. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious major damage to the print itself, though reflections on the glass obscure some minor details and prevent a full assessment of the print's surface condition or potential fading. The frame appears to be in good condition with minor scuffing possible consistent with age and handling. This style gained popularity in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
