Framed Original Acrylic Painting: Rowboat on Beach by Mary Chesney

This item is an original acrylic painting on canvas, approximately 12 inches by 9 inches, signed by the artist Mary Chesney. The painting depicts a serene beach scene featuring a single, light-colored rowboat resting on a sandy shore. The boat, rendered in shades of off-white and light gray, is positioned facing toward the left of the frame, with its bow slightly elevated and a single oar visible resting alongside it. The sand is a warm, light beige, leading into a band of vibrant turquoise ocean water, which transitions into a lighter, muted blue sky. The artist has used visible brushstrokes, particularly in the water and sky, giving the painting a textured appearance characteristic of acrylics. The craftsmanship is expressive, with a clear focus on color and light to convey atmosphere. The painting is housed within a gray-blue wooden frame, which has a distressed or whitewashed finish, suggesting a rustic or coastal aesthetic. The frame appears to be in good condition, showing minimal signs of wear. A white mat border provides a clean separation between the artwork and the frame, enhancing the visual appeal. The overall condition of the painting appears excellent, with no visible damage, fading, or cracking to the acrylic surface. The style suggests a contemporary coastal or landscape genre, likely created within the last few decades based on the medium and framing style. The signature 'M. Chesney' is discernible in the lower right corner of the canvas. The painting's modest size makes it suitable for various display settings.
