Original Mixed Media Landscape Painting with Agate Inlay

This unique work of art is a contemporary mixed media painting on a rectangular canvas panel. The piece features a stylized nocturnal seascape or lakeside scene, dominated by rocky cliffs rendered in earthy browns and blacks with white highlights suggesting moonlight. A central pink and white orb, which appears to be a polished agate or geode slice, is integrated into the horizon line to represent a rising moon or sun. The sky is dark blue with horizontal brushstrokes and small white dots representing stars. The water reflects this light with heavy white impasto or dry-brushing techniques. The item is signed 'P. Doyle' in the lower-right corner in white paint. The overall craftsmanship suggests a self-taught or hobbyist artist, utilizing a combination of traditional acrylic paint and a glued-in physical stone element. Notable condition issues include a large 'Value Village' retail sticker on the lower right quadrant, which may leave adhesive residue or damage the paint layer upon removal. The canvas edges appear raw, suggesting it was once sold in a thrift store environment. The use of a physical mineral specimen adds a three-dimensional, tactile quality to the otherwise flat composition.
