Description

Oil painting on canvas by Gerald Leake depicting a square rigged ship sailing on rough seas. Leake uses a dynamic palette of blues, greens, whites, and splashes of yellow and red, conveying the ferocity of a storm at sea. The strokes are loose and expressive, adding a sense of movement and raw emotion to the scene. The sky, a whirl of lighter tones and chaotic brushwork, adds to the sense of an ongoing struggle against natural forces.
