A typically evocative oil painting by the master of the impressionist North Sea seascape, John Falconar Slater ().

John Falconar Slater was a Newcastle born artist who painted a wide range of subjects in oils and watercolours exhibiting prolifically in the North East of England. Initially Slater worked as a bookkeeper for his father's corn mill and then, having emigrated at 20, ran a store in the diamond fields of South Africa. Returning to the Northumberland he turned to art as a career.

Slater could well be one of the best Northern Impressionist artists and he was expert at depicting the many moods of the North Sea. It is reported that he was often seen clad in oil-skins, his easel tied to rocks and weighed down by stones, so he could paint in all weathers. Indeed, the blue plaque that honours him and commemorates his time lived in Cullercoats St.
