About this work

This painting shows a small harbor with two boats sitting on dry land. The water is a mix of deep blues and whites, with patches of darker colors near the shore. Behind the boats, there are simple wooden buildings with slanted roofs, and trees in the background. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the scene a rough, textured look. The colors feel fresh but a little muddy, like a quick sketch caught in daylight. If you like this style, check out impasto.
