The Seducer

Subject

ship; sea

Description

A large sailing ship sits on a deep blue sea. The ship is painted in with the same coloring and wave-like movement and frothing of the sea, the vessel itself an apparent continuation of the ocean beneath it. The sky boasts full, fluffy clouds in the distance, with the sunset bringing soft yellows, oranges, and pinks to the scene.
