A richly textured oil painting capturing the quiet, working charm of a weatherworn dockside shack. Signed “A. Gibson” in the lower right, this mid-century harbor scene centers a rust-colored building on stilts, flanked by towering pilings, a beached rowboat, and gentle ripples in the bay. The loose, expressive brushwork conveys both the movement of water and the wear of time—while two gulls soar overhead, reinforcing the salty stillness of the moment.
 
The paint is applied in thick, confident strokes, especially in the water and sky, giving the piece a dimensional, almost sculptural quality. Housed in a heavy, multi-tone wood frame with carved bevels and inner linen border, this piece is ready to hang in a gallery wall, coastal-themed space, or vintage-styled nook. Would pair beautifully with driftwood, nautical brass, linen textures, and other weathered woods.
 
Framed dimensions approx. 21.5” x 25.5”
 
Style Notes:
Fits comfortably within coastal vintage, folk Americana, and rustic lakehouse aesthetics. Mix with maritime relics, woven textures, or found natural materials for a grounded yet story-rich vignette.
