Behind the Barrier
In Behind the Barrier, Elissa Anthony presents a bold and immersive seascape in oil, measuring 24 x 36 inches. The painting depicts a dynamic coastal view, where waves crash against a natural barrier, giving the scene energy and movement. Anthony’s brushstrokes are vigorous, capturing the force and texture of the water with remarkable detail. This active brushwork draws the viewer into the powerful rhythm of the ocean.
The colour palette is rich and layered, blending deep blues and whites with hints of earthy tones. These choices highlight the contrast between the turbulent waves and the sturdy natural barrier, underscoring the intensity and beauty of coastal landscapes. The interplay of dark and light tones brings depth, making the waves appear to crash forward in a captivating, almost three-dimensional effect.
Anthony’s composition gives the scene a sense of place and drama, inviting viewers to feel the raw strength of the ocean. The tension between the barrier and the waves evokes themes of resilience and the relentless power of nature, creating a visually and emotionally compelling work.
