Phillips’ eye-catching painting shows a quiet coastal village with wooden buildings lining the shore and boats resting in calm waters. Misty mountains rise in the background, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The charm of this coastal community and its deep connection to the sea is wonderfully depicted.
Walter J. Phillips (1884–1963) was a master of woodblock printing and watercolour, known for his fine depictions of Canadian landscapes, particularly in the Prairies and Rocky Mountains, influencing printmaking in Canada.
