Murmansk Harbour

About this work

This watercolor shows a quiet harbor scene with soft, misty hills in the distance. The sky is pale blue with light clouds, and the water is calm, dotted with a few ships. In the foreground, a rocky shore leads to a grassy area with bare trees standing alone. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a dreamy, unfinished look. The colors are muted—blues, grays, and earthy browns—with just a hint of green in the grass. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collection.
