Darker hues of blue, green and gray spread across the canvas in this piece, creating an environment that is cold, dark and foggy. Smudges of colors bring about an illusion of a cloudy, misty skyline with hints of gold reflecting through the dark clouds as the moon hides in the darkness. The faint moonlight catches the ship and water, casting shadows and highlighting the ship- the only bright color in the many layered blue canvas. In the background, the shadows of three sailors appear, hard at work to steer the ship on its course as the mist stays close to the vessel, creating a lonely, yet calm atmosphere.
