About this work

This painting shows a group of people in small boats on a body of water. They are all wearing blue jackets and red hats. Some are holding long poles, and one person is standing in the shallow water at the shore, holding a round object. In the background, there are hills with buildings on them. The sky is light blue with big white clouds. The water is calm and reflects the colors of the sky. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of George Chinnery.
