A horizontally oriented oil painting uses thick, expressive brushstrokes to depict a vast, churning sea. Dark blue and teal water dominates the majority of the composition, punctuated by white highlights along cresting waves. A high horizon line divides the turbulent water from a pale sky of light gray and cream. The rough texture emphasizes the restless movement of the open ocean under hazy light.
