The artist uses a variety of brush stroke techniques in this piece as four boats sail across the horizon. Shades of bronze and beige create an illusion of a sunset as the boats sail into the painting, reflecting the setting rays on the water's surface. The artist's short, sharp brushwork creates an air of mystery and adventure filling up the canvas with a vision of the evening sky while echoing the movement of the water and shimmering skin of the fish that live in it. Against the dark silhouettes of the ships, the artist brings the water to life as well with realistic lines and shadows as the water almost moves and ripples across the canvas.
