A woman sits in a small boat, smiling at the viewer. She wears a wide-brimmed hat with yellow and purple patches, a white blouse, and a light skirt. The water around her is calm, with a faint shoreline in the distance. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a lively feel. The hat’s bright colors stand out against the softer tones of her clothes and the boat. The painting feels fresh and outdoorsy, like a snapshot of a sunny day. Look up impasto to see how thick paint can create texture like this.
