waterscapes
Ocean and lake paintings
Waterscapes are views or artistic depictions dominated by water—oceans, lakes, rivers, or harbors.
The term parallels landscape but emphasizes water as the central feature: The gallery specializes in seascapes and other waterscapes.
In design contexts, waterscapes may refer to decorative water features like fountains or ponds.
