The Story
Size:44 x 44 in.
Circling the Harbour, Menton, a 39" x 39" original painting by Michael F. Rumsby, bursts with dynamic energy and radiant colour. This vibrant composition depicts a sun-drenched Mediterranean harbour, alive with vivid hues of pink, blue, and gold. Towering palm trees with expressive, flowing brushstrokes dominate the foreground, their swaying fronds providing a sense of rhythm and movement. Below, a glistening harbour brims with life, dotted with sailboats that appear to dance across the water, their white sails standing out against the mosaic of multicoloured reflections.
The background captures the essence of Menton, with its warm, bustling cityscape rendered in bold, impressionistic strokes. The artist’s use of playful light and colour creates a dreamlike atmosphere, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in this vibrant coastal scene.
Michael F. Rumsby, based in Saussignac, France, draws inspiration from his travels and the landscapes he encounters, transforming his experiences into joyful, layered works of art. His mastery of mixed media – including acrylic, oils, and pastels – allows him to explore texture, light, and depth, resulting in lively compositions that radiate positivity. Rumsby’s ability to balance energy and tranquillity on the canvas makes his work a captivating celebration of colour and life.
