Circular Tondo Coastal Seascape Painting

This is a circular oil or acrylic painting on a tondo-format support, likely canvas board or a similar rigid panel, measuring approximately 10 to 12 inches in diameter. The artwork depicts a moody, monochromatic coastal scene featuring crashing waves, sea grass in the foreground, and seagulls in flight against a cloudy gray sky. The color palette is restricted to shades of slate gray, off-white, and deep charcoal, suggesting a mid-to-late 20th-century decorative style often associated with coastal 'cottage core' or office decor from the 1970s and 80s. The artist’s signature is visible in the lower-center foreground, appearing to read 'Colleen' or a similar script name in dark pigment. The painting shows visible wear, particularly along the unprotected edges where the paint layer has chipped or frayed slightly, suggesting it was once framed or is currently missing a frame. The brushwork in the waves and grass is expressive and rapid, indicating a commercial or amateur provenance rather than high-fine art. The texture of the support is visible through the paint, following the circular grain. Overall, the piece is in fair condition with minor surface scuffing and edge vulnerability.
