This charming miniature oil painting by Henderson captures a quiet moment beneath the sea, where a seahorse parent and baby float among swirling kelp. The figures, painted in vivid orange and dotted with white highlights, glow against a rich sea-green background. Bold, textured brushstrokes give the piece energy and a feeling of underwater movement.
At just 3.5 inches tall, this piece showcases the artist’s control of impasto within a small format. Likely created in the 1980s or 1990s by a regional American painter, it reflects the era’s love of coastal decor and whimsical nature subjects. Perfect for a shelf, windowsill, or gallery wall, it’s a small but captivating work for lovers of ocean life and miniature art.
