Oil & Cold Wax on Paper by James Edward Scherbarth: Titled: Green Currach

A gray-green boat sits on a red shore under a seafoam sky, the whole scene a little faded by the weather.

This oil and cold wax on paper, Green Currach, is by James Edward Scherbarth, made around 2019. Oil paint mixed with cold wax dries matte and can be laid on paper in thin, scraped layers. A long wedge of a hull rests at an angle across the center, pale green above and slate gray at the stern. Below, the ground is a dense, speckled red. The upper half is soft gray-green, scratched with a few rust-colored marks. The sheet is 12 inches wide and 9 high, the image 10.25 by 7.13.

Beached for now, and in no hurry to leave.
