"By Land and Sea" is a mixed media abstract landscape measuring 20" x 16" x 2.5" painting that captures the raw energy of Lake Superior’s shoreline. This vibrant seascape, rendered in an impressionistic style, features a turbulent sea brought to life with dynamic brushstrokes in shades of blue, turquoise, and white. A textured rocky cliff and seawall anchor the composition on the right, reflecting the rugged beauty of Madeline Island’s landscape. As a mixed-media abstract painter, I create pieces that evoke the natural forces and spirit of the Apostle Islands, offering a unique artistic experience for collectors and enthusiasts alike. This work embodies the connection between land and sea through movement, texture, and color, staying true to the essence of Steve McHugh.
"By Land and Sea" is a vibrant seascape rendered in an impressionistic style. It features a turbulent sea with dynamic brushstrokes in various shades of blue, turquoise, and white, capturing the movement and energy of the waves. On the right side, there is a rocky cliff, seawall composed of textured blocks in muted tones of blue, green, and grey rocks. Above the rocky formation, a cluster of bright yellow foliage stands out against the blue background, adding a warm contrast to the scene. The sky is a gradient of blue with wisps of white clouds, enhancing the natural and lively atmosphere of the seascape. The overall composition emphasizes the interaction between the rugged coastal elements and the restless sea.
