Evening Regatta
Several sailboats glide across dark, rippling water under a rich purple sky. Their sails are painted in lime green, bright orange and red, and the colors glow against the dim background. A small yellow sun or moon hangs low on the right, casting warm light across the scene.
The water is built from horizontal strokes of deep red, orange and purple, with streaks of light running below each boat as reflections. The hulls are simple dark shapes with a thin pale line, which keeps the focus on the sails.
The painting is cheerful and full of movement. It feels like the end of a day at the harbor, when the light turns dramatic and the boats seem to be racing toward the horizon.
