The North East artist John Falconer Slater was one of many British landscape painters whose pictures were influenced by earlier French Impressionist paintings. Light fills this view, and the bright colours are applied in small separate brushstrokes in Impressionist style. Slater often painted in the open air, and many of his views show the coastline near Whitley Bay. The thick, raised paint recreates the rough texture of the rocks and suggests the motion of the waves. Red, gold and pink create a colour pattern all over the picture surface.
