Watercolor painting depicting a vibrant, abstract seascape with a dark blue ocean at the bottom, a colorful sky with broad strokes of green, yellow, orange, and blue above, and a silhouette of a tree to the right side. The artwork has a rough texture and appears to be on paper with deckled edges, signed by the artist in the lower right corner.
