Clifford Warren Ashley Impressionist Coastal Seascape Oil Painting, Light Play

Description: An impressive coastal ocean seascape titled “Light Play” by American artist Clifford Warren Ashley (1881 - 1947). Ashley was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, graduated and went to study in Boston at the Eric Pape School alongside N.C. Wyeth, Sidney Chase and Henry Peck. The four artists then studied in the summer of 1901 under George Noyes, and soon Ashley was tutored in the company of Howard Pyle in Wilmington, Delaware. Ashley would establish his winter residence here, and summer nearly every year in New Bedford, along with his inherited farm in Westport, Massachusetts. Maritime settings inspired Ashley and he in turn inspired many others with thoughts and remembrances in marine scenes through his paintings and illustrations, such as the sixty plate drawings in his 1929 Book "Whaleships of New Bedford" and the forward by no other than President Franklin D. Roosevelt, or his important tome "The Ashley Book of Knots" in 1944. Still, his original artworks rise above to be rare, illusive and sought after by maritime art collections.Oil on canvas, signed and dated 1915 lower left, and housed in a decorative carved giltwood Carrig-Rohane Shop, Boston MA frame #3674.
