Evening

Sergey Polyakov's small pleasure boat with a fringed canopy rests on the sand at dusk. Sea and sky melt into one lilac-gray haze, with a tiny yellow moon above. Almost no color, a narrow range of grays, blues and lilacs, and the boat and moon as the only accents. A tonal study that feels almost meditative.
