Untitled is a 1992 oil by Malcolm Morley, a photorealism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a big fishing boat named *Michelle* tied up at a dock. The boat is painted in bold blues and reds, with a weathered look to its hull. Inside, you can see fishing gear like nets and crates stacked up. The water around it is a murky green, and the dock has other boats and ropes in the background. The artist used thick, textured brushstrokes that make the paint almost look like it’s three-dimensional. The bright colors pop against the darker water, giving the scene a lively but slightly rough feel. If you like this style, check out *impasto* to see how artists use thick paint layers.
