This is an extraordinary work of Art! It is a watercolor by William B. Gillette. The use of color is fabulous. The colors are pastel in nature ranging from soft greens, browns, blues, purples and peach. It is very serene with a pebble covered beach incased by a rocky coastline. There is a rising hill to the right giving the mood of a private cove. The sea foam greenish blue colored sea has crashing waves that give the watercolor a soothing ambiance. It is housed in an appropriate art nouveau hand carved frame which was painted an elegant metallic gold color. It is signed W.B. Gillette in the lower left hand corner. The condition of the watercolor is pristine! The frame has spots here and there along with what appears to be green oxidation drippings that occurred along time ago. All in all it is very very good. It has a wooden plaque at the base of the frame in the center which reads ? Pebbly Beach, B.I. - W.B. Gillette. Unfortunately I?m not a professional photographer and these pictures don?t do this watercolor justice. If you like the pictures you will be highly impressed when you see it in person! Overall it measures 34? x 24 1/8? and the sight size is 26? x 16 1/8?. William B Gillette (1864-1937) was born in Nova Scotia but he is most associated with the state of New York where he died in Troy. He was a painter and etcher by profession with a specialty in marine life. His work is featured in the Vermont Shelburne Museum. He is a well established listed artist ...
