Three Boats on the Shore | 47"x41" | Acrylic on Canvas
Jodi Ferrier’s Three Boats on the Shore (47”x41”, acrylic on canvas) is an expressive painting inspired by the coast of Maine, depicting three boats resting on the shore. The composition balances between representation and abstraction, using bold brushstrokes and vivid colors to evoke the textures and atmosphere of the coastal landscape. The boats are suggested rather than explicitly defined, with overlapping shapes and skewed viewpoints creating a sense of fluidity and movement, as if the boats and shore are part of an ever-changing, energetic scene.
Ferrier’s use of layered acrylics builds depth and texture, with rich blues, soft whites, and earthy tones capturing the cool, misty air and weathered beauty of the Maine coast. The contrast between the boats and the surrounding water is highlighted by the expressive play of light and dark, emphasizing the emotional mood of the scene over realistic detail. The painting’s non-traditional perspective, with distorted horizons and dynamic brushwork, creates an energy that feels chaotic yet fluid, mirroring the constant rhythm of the tide. This piece invites viewers to experience the tension between stillness and movement, capturing the timeless flow of nature in a moment of quiet contemplation.
