About this work

This painting shows four sailboats on a dark, choppy body of water. The sails are bright—red, yellow, and white—standing out against the blue-gray sky. In the distance, a faint outline of buildings and land appears, but the focus stays on the boats. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, almost like the water itself. The colors feel bold but messy, as if the artist worked fast. If you like this style, look up impasto.
