Original Description
Anna Althea Hills' "Mending The Nets" (c. 1915) is a serene yet evocative Impressionist-style painting that captures the quiet diligence of fishermen repairing their nets along the California coast. Bathed in soft, diffused light, the scene balances meticulous detail—like the woven nets and weathered hands—with loose, expressive brushstrokes that mirror the rhythm of ocean waves. Hills, a prominent California Plein Air painter, was influenced by Tonalism and early American Impressionism, and this work exemplifies her ability to blend realism with atmospheric mood. Historically, it reflects early 20th-century regionalism and the Arts and Crafts Movement’s celebration of manual labor. Today, it stands as a testament to Hills’ role in documenting Southern California’s coastal life, bridging the gap between East Coast Impressionism and the emerging California Art Club.
For decor, "Mending The Nets" brings tranquility and coastal charm to spaces. Its muted blues, warm beiges, and earthy tones make it ideal for a beach house or a minimalist office, where it pairs beautifully with natural textures like linen, driftwood, or rattan furniture. Choose a medium-to-large size (24x30 inches or similar) to highlight the brushwork and create a focal point in a living room above a neutral sofa or in a study alongside maritime artifacts. Frame it in a simple wood or gold-leaf frame to complement its vintage appeal. The painting’s calming palette also harmonizes with sage green or soft terracotta walls, offering a subtle nod to nature. In a workspace, its theme of quiet labor can inspire focus, while its light-reflective quality brightens dim corners.
