From Sheep Island, Maine 1951

"From Sheep Island, Maine" is a 1951 watercolor by John Marin, known for his expressive landscapes. This piece captures the essence of the Maine coast, with a distinct blue sky, rolling clouds, and a distant island outlined against the water. Marin's signature style, employing loose brushstrokes and washes of color, evokes the fleeting nature of light and atmosphere. The painting is an example of his exploration of abstract expressionism and the relationship between nature and artistic interpretation.
