Walking Ashore
16 x 20, acrylic on canvas
$1250
This Dean Gioia maritime painting depicts a weathered fisherman walking ashore from his wooden skiff in Apalachicola, FL. The composition captures the figure wading through shallow water as a small wave breaks against his humble vessel. Rendered in a warm sepia-toned palette, the scene is bathed in golden late-day light beneath an amber sky with hints of cloud formations. Gioia’s expressive brushwork conveys both the textural quality of the splashing water and the quiet dignity of coastal working life along Florida’s historic fishing community.
