Colin Moore Oil Painting Antique Sailing Barge Marine Seascape Essex

A charming original marine oil painting by Colin Moore, Marine Artist, depicting a traditional sailing barge with distinctive brown sails navigating coastal waters. Several smaller sailing vessels can be seen along the distant horizon, while a buoy sits in the foreground. The composition captures the character of Britain’s historic sailing barges, with beautifully observed water, soft coastal light and a gently clouded sky.

The reverse bears the artist’s original business card identifying Colin Moore as a marine artist, together with a handwritten title that appears to read “Last of the Era – Off the West Leigh Middle”, adding interest to this maritime painting.

The painting would make a lovely addition to a collection of marine art or a stylish feature in a coastal-inspired, traditional or nautical interior.
