Cape Hatteras, Seascape with Wylanta and Joan 1980

"Cape Hatteras, Seascape with Wylanta and Joan" (1980) is a painting by American artist Frank Mason (1921-2009). The artwork depicts a beach scene with three figures: a woman in a red headscarf holding a small child, and a man relaxing in a beach chair. The scene is set against the backdrop of a vast ocean and a dramatic sky. The painting's loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors capture the casual atmosphere of a day at the beach. The work is likely a depiction of Mason’s family enjoying a vacation at Cape Hatteras. The painting is a fine example of Mason's seascape paintings, a genre that he was known for.
