"Figures on the Reef" Moorea
1977

A vibrant watercolor painting depicting a coastal scene with two figures standing on the shore, holding a fish net between them. The background features rolling green hills and jagged peaks under a dramatic, cloudy sky. The sea is rendered in shades of blue and white, indicating waves, while the foreground shows detailed rock formations and tidal pools with hints of marine life. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
