Malta is a 1959 watercolor by Julian Trevelyan, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a rocky beach covered in tangled driftwood and dark clumps of seaweed. The sand is light, almost white, with patches of brown and yellow where the wood and plants lie. In the background, the water is calm and blue, with a distant shoreline and a few buildings. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show the messy, uneven shapes of the driftwood and seaweed. It looks like they were in a hurry to capture the wild, tangled feel of the beach. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
Julian Trevelyan made prints and watercolors of ports and harbors, often in layered prints or translucent washes.
