About this work

This painting shows two old boats resting on rocky ground in front of a two-story building. The boats have faded paint—mostly blue and green—and look weathered. The building behind them has peeling walls in pale yellow and green, with shutters on the windows and a red-tiled roof. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the scene a textured, almost tactile feel. The colors are muted, but the contrast between light and dark adds depth. If you like this style, look up impasto.
