Shrimp Boats at Dusk
Oil on Pastel Board
16" x 20"

As daylight slips toward evening, a pair of shrimp boats settle into the stillness of the harbor, their hulls mirrored in the glass-smooth water. Soft hues of fading gold and deepening blue drift across the sky, casting long reflections that blur the line between vessel and horizon. The air feels suspended--neither day nor night--holding the quiet rhythm of a working coast at rest.
