Title
Coast of Maine
Description
Artwork created by Phil Foster, an American artist portraying the vastness, depth, and beauty of the ocean. The Coast of Maine is known for its picturesque landscape and dangerous seas. Being very jagged with rocks sticking out into the ocean, Foster captures the essence of the coastline from its creation of wandering land masses colliding millions of years ago. Incorporating different hues of blue for the sea and sky and different yellows and browns for the rocks adds depth to the painting, capturing the feeling of being present at the coastline. Foster exemplifies the secluded natural location of the coastline, with no human civilization present. The Coast of Maine is a place away from everyday life. The rocks meet the sea which expands into the sky, symbolizing an escape through nature.
