"Seascape and Rocks - Point Lobos" is a forcefully executed canvas representing the best of his early work off the coast near Carmel. O'Shea employs loaded brushwork, deep saturated colors, and bold rhythmic patterns to create a work reminiscent of the powerful canvases of his peers - George Bellows, Armin Hansen and William Ritschel.
This painting is a rare early work of Point Lobos, of exhibition size, and the finest O’Shea we have owned and one of the best he has ever painted of the California coast.
