This painting is a work by the late american impressionist Theodore 'Ted' Tihansky. Tihansky was a highly regarded painter who split much of his career between Newport, Rhode Island, and Monhegan Island, Maine. He trained at institutions like the Art Students League in New York and was celebrated for his dynamic, thick impasto brushwork, structural landscapes, and atmospheric depictions of coastal architecture.The architectural shapes, dramatic lighting contrast, shifting patterns of light and shadows, and heavy, textured use of paint as displayed in this composition are completely aligned with his signature style. Tihansky frequently paired his works with substantial, ornate gilt wood frames such as the pairing used for this piece, which enhances the classic impressionistic feel of his pieces.
