Observations

Across all four renders, the style uses visible oil-paint brushwork and luminous, sunlit coastal scenes with reflective water, rocks, and loosely rendered figures in light summer clothing. Forms remain realistically readable but are built from expressive broken strokes, broad tonal patches, and restrained blue, cream, green, and warm accent colors.
