Broad shelves of pale limestone and warm ochre step down into still turquoise water, caught in the low golden light of a summer evening on Kelleys Island. Sweeping gestural strokes and thick layered impasto in resonant teal, chalk white, sunlit amber and deep slate build the ledges as rising colour fields, while the water's edge and open sky dissolve into energetic marks that reach every edge of the picture.
