Sea and Breeze is a 1894 by Charles Hasslewood Shannon, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a rough, windy sea with choppy waves crashing over rocks. The water is dark and textured, while the rocks below are jagged and white. In the distance, a small boat rocks violently, barely visible through the stormy lines. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to show movement and energy, almost like the wind itself. This style fits the mood of the scene—wild and untamed. Next, check out Impressionism to see how artists like this one captured light and motion in their work.
Charles Hasslewood Shannon (1863–1937) was a British artist.
