The painterly strokes here capture the movement of a boat on the sea, and the tumultuous nature of the water. The vivid colours and contrast heighten this tension, and the frenzied mark-making details the high winds. The viewer can imagine a stormy sea, with the dark clouds in the distance and the water turning dark. The red flag on top of the sails dances about, like a ribbon in the wind.

NHS Fife recognises the importance that art plays in creating an environment conducive to good health and well being. Our collection of artwork is intended to be enjoyed by patients, their visitors and staff alike.
