Catalogue note

White cottages with dark roofs and blue trim nestle on pale ground by a dark, turbulent sea, under a leaden sky that presses down on the scene. The whites are worked with cool blue shadows that bind buildings and ground together. There is a bright, salt-scoured clarity to the village against the storm.
