Coast Guard Cove is a watercolor and pencil on paper by Edward Hopper in 1927. This was the year that he purchased his first car so his paintings at the time were influenced by his freedom to travel to the coast of Maine. This summer was the first time he began painting in water color with the encouragement of his wife. Using the water colors allowed him to have more freedom in contrast to his previous oil paintings. In Coast Guard Cove, he is able to capture the sunlight and the shadows below the cliffs.
