Watercolor by Gerald Leake depicting a tranquil waterside scene where wooden boats are moored near a sunlit shore, painted in loose watercolor strokes that masterfully capture reflections and transparencies inherent in the way water interacts with light. Dark patches of green trees to the left contrast against the clear blue skies, making the scene natural and inviting . The boats, painted in earthy tones with distinct, rustic details, evoke a sense of ongoing maritime activity.Artwork Details
