‘Moorings at Evening Light’
Signed Charles Smith, dated 1994
A beautifully atmospheric oil on board depicting fishing boats resting quietly on still harbour waters, their masts rising against a softly illuminated skyline. Beyond, a church tower and clustered buildings emerge through delicate washes of colour, while reflections shimmer gently across the surface. Painted in 1994, the work displays Smith’s confident, impressionistic brushwork, with a harmonious palette capturing the tranquillity and fading light of the harbour scene.
