Credit LineGift of Thomas Wilson '79 and Jill Garling '80Subject matterIn this seascape scene, four unoccupied white boats float idly in the shallows. The lilac and lavender hues of the evening sky are reflected--with intensified chroma and varying values--on the placid surface of water. The seemingly unified expanse of color that spans sea and sky is barely interrupted by the low horizon line, visible as a thin blurry sliver.
Physical DescriptionPhotograph of boats in the middle of a calm body of water.
