About this work

This painting shows a boat on a deep blue sea, with a bright white hull and orange trim. Behind it, a city skyline is blurred in reds, purples, and pinks, with palm trees on the right. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving it a rough, textured look. The boat’s white color stands out sharply against the darker water, almost like a spotlight. The city in the background is simplified, with no clear details—just blocks of color. If you like this style, look up impasto next to see how thick paint can create texture.
