A bright, sunny day scene depicts a beach shoreline meeting the sea. The sea water is a vibrant, deep blue, showcasing a gentle wave action along the shore.
The beach itself is a mixture of light beige, tan, and gray stones and pebbles, depicted with visible brushstrokes giving a textured feel. Shadows from vegetation are cast on the shoreline, creating areas of deep indigo and dark gray.
A small island is visible in the mid-ground, a dark grayish-brown color against the clear blue sky.
A sizable bush or small tree, a vibrant green with varying shades, occupies the upper right quadrant of the painting, creating a contrast to the beach and water. The brushwork around the vegetation is noticeably thicker and more expressive than that used for the rest of the scene. The sky is a light pastel blue, adding to the overall sense of a bright, daytime scene.
