About this work

This painting shows two main colors: a bright green rectangle on top and a deep blue section below. Inside the blue, there are faint lines that look like they might be waves or a distant shore. The edges of the whole piece are framed by a darker blue border. The lines in the blue section are drawn very lightly, almost like a sketch. They don’t show much detail but give a sense of movement without being clear. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
