About this work

This painting shows a dark boat in the foreground with a tall mast, sitting in shallow water. Behind it, a row of small houses with steep roofs lines the shore. The sky is a mix of blue and white brushstrokes, while the buildings and boat have rough, textured strokes in earthy colors. The painting feels loose and quick, like it was done outdoors. The artist used thick, uneven paint that catches the light in places. Look up impasto to see how this technique works.
