This painting shows two small boats floating on the water. The boat in the foreground is white and empty, while the one behind it has a white sail and is also empty. The water is dark and choppy, and there are hills in the background. The painting is done in oil paint, and the artist has used bold brushstrokes to capture the movement of the water. The colors are muted, with shades of gray and brown dominating the palette. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of artist Eric Hudson.
