Mid-Century Impressionist Nautical Impasto Painting

This item is an original mid-century nautical oil or acrylic painting on canvasboard, featuring a central sailing vessel depicted with heavy impasto technique. The piece measures approximately 16x20 inches within its frame. The color palette consists of a neutral cream background with vibrant pops of coral, turquoise, and tan in the sails, and deep blues and blacks for the hull and choppy water. The painting exhibits bold, sculptural brushwork and palette knife applications that create significant physical texture. Notable features include a secondary smaller sailboat and a rowboat with a figure in red, adding narrative depth to the maritime scene. The work is signed with initials "HY" in the lower right corner. The condition shows age-appropriate wear, including minor surface dust and some scuffing on the wood frame. The frame itself is a wide-profile, stained wood typical of the 1950s-1960s. The craftsmanship is expressive and decorative, characteristic of the stylized 'home decor' fine art produced during the post-war period. There are no visible repairs, and the paint layer appears stable without significant cracking or flaking.
