JWAAM (Jac) Mels was born in Tilburg in 1899. At a young age he left for Curaçao to work as a teacher. He also visited Venezuela and Brazil. As an artist he was self-taught. He made many landscapes and cityscapes, had a preference for watercolor and ink drawing, and his style is expressionistic in a graceful style, often with dark colors. Within the Netherlands he worked a lot in Limburg and Brabant. He died in 1974
This watercolour is full of sun, sea and sky, probably made in South America. The work is signed, but not dated.
It is in a cool, light passe-partout, with a beautiful timeless gold-colored frame, a cheerful work.
