Oceanic Ruins in Oil: Seascape of Ancient Stones

An expansive seascape painted in rich oil on canvas: a rugged ocean crashes around ancient ruins rising from the surf. Crumbling marble columns and carved arches emerge from turquoise seas and moss-covered stones. The water recoils in foamy emerald spray, with seaweed clinging to weathered masonry and barnacles dotting the worn surfaces. In the distance, a stormy sky with heavy clouds and occasional breaks of warm sunlight; golden light reflects on wet stone, creating a contrast of cool blues and warm ochres. Thick impasto brushstrokes and visible texture convey waves and rock textures. Composition with a low horizon, the sea dominating the lower two-thirds, ruins on the left and center-right, a sense of timelessness as if partially submerged. Mood is Romantic, awe-inspiring, and mysterious, reminiscent of classic oil seascapes; use glazing for luminous depth and a richly layered surface.
