The Grinders, Maine

This original watercolor, The Grinders, Maine, captures the quiet drama of the Maine coastline, where weathered granite ledges meet calm, open water. Painted circa 1990, the work reflects Bill Suttles’ mature travel-period style, combining confident brushwork with subtle atmospheric washes. The composition moves the eye from layered rock forms in the foreground toward distant islands and open sky, conveying both structure and openness. The artwork measures 21 × 27 inches unframed and is presented in a custom wood frame measuring 30 × 38 × 1.5 inches, giving the piece strong visual presence while preserving the delicacy of the watercolor medium. A timeless coastal scene, it balances observation and interpretation, making it well suited for collectors of American travel landscapes and maritime subjects.
