Shipwreck
About this artwork
Artist Paula Martino paints a semi-abstracted view of the hull of a wrecked tugboat. She draws inspiration from a shipwreck on the southeast shore of Monhegan Island off the coast of Maine. Paula uses elements of copper foil which references the rusted scraps of metal left from the wreckage. Pink and blue stenciling throughout the painting puts the viewer's mind on a warm and windy day along the shore of the Atlantic.
