Oars Across Still Water

Seen from above, a cluster of rowing shells and small boats presses closely against a dock, their long yellow oars creating a lattice of diagonals across deep blue water. The flattened perspective and simplified forms give the harbor scene a calm, ordered rhythm, while small human figures at the lower right introduce a quiet sense of activity and scale. Broad painted areas, outlined shapes, and clear tonal separations emphasize pattern over illusion, turning the marina into a composed arrangement of hulls, blades, and reflected light.
