ArtistA beautiful traditional Maine house sitting on a rocky bluff overlooking a magnificent bay. By Ivan Bilibin, flat color, dirty color, cold tones
A color woodcut illustration depicts a two-story home, light brown with dark trim, directly on a rocky cliff overlooking a body of water under a light blue sky with wispy clouds. The house has a wraparound porch with white pillars, railings, and stairs leading down. A red chimney protrudes from the dark gray shingled roof, which also features a small finial at its peak. The house is situated on an elevated, rocky terrain with large, grey, and ochre-colored boulders around it and some scattered evergreen trees. The body of water, a deep blue, reflects the sun’s light in a shimmering vertical path leading to the distant horizon. In the distance, dark green land formations and islands are visible, indicating a coastline. The water near the cliff edge is a lighter blue, with waves crashing against the rocks. The overall style is reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints, with defined outlines and flat color application, and a slightly textured appearance.
