This painting shows a rough, textured scene of a waterfront. A building with arched openings sits by the water, its walls painted in earthy reds and browns. A boat with bold yellow and red stripes floats nearby, its reflection wavering in the dark water below. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the whole scene a scratchy, almost unfinished look. It feels like the artist grabbed colors quickly, letting the texture do some of the work. If you like this style, look up impasto—it’s the technique of slapping thick paint on a canvas.
