Winter at Ship Harbour by Cobi Moules captures the serene beauty and quiet introspection of a coastal winter scene. Blending realism with a touch of whimsy, the painting draws viewers into a tranquil landscape where time seems to pause. Figures in warm ochre tones are scattered playfully along a snow-dusted shoreline, leading the eye to calm, reflective waters beneath a softly clouded sky.
Moules’ masterful use of colour and texture brings warmth and vitality to the cool winter palette, while the detailed brushwork gives the scene a lush, tactile quality. Each figure appears lost in their own quiet moment, inviting reflection and a sense of connection with the natural world.
Known for his exploration of identity and place, Moules infuses the work with narrative depth. Winter at Ship Harbour is both visually captivating and emotionally resonant.

Cobi Moules is a painter whose work explores queer and trans desires through a reimagining of the American landscape. Raised in a small conservative town in central California, Moules uses his personal history as a lens to examine and disrupt traditional, often exclusionary, representations of nature and identity. His paintings engage with the legacy of landscape painting while inserting the queer body into spaces from which it has historically been erased, creating work that is both deeply personal and politically resonant.
