1980s Steve LeBailly Signed Original Watercolor "Woman on Beach"
This serene original watercolor by late Seattle-based artist and historian Steve LeBailly (1950–2024) captures a tranquil coastal moment. The piece features a figurative study of a woman standing against a backdrop of golden sands and deep blue waves. LeBailly’s characteristic style—a blend of historical reverence and a deep appreciation for the natural world—is evident in the soft washes of color and the contemplative posture of the subject. The artwork is professionally double-matted with a lavender inner accent and housed in a contemporary silver-toned metal frame.

Condition:

The metal frame is sturdy and includes a wire hanger for immediate display.
Provenance:
From a private collection in the Pacific Northwest. Steve LeBailly was a recognized regional artist and historian whose life was dedicated to "the richness of art and history."
A soulful and evocative piece of Pacific Northwest regional art, this framed original by Steve LeBailly is a beautiful addition to any coastal-themed interior or collection of late 20th-century figurative works.
