Hot day

Daniel Volkov fills a sunny harbor with motor boats, one with a red-and-white striped awning, pale houses with orange roofs behind.

Everything here is flat strokes of the knife: icy blue and turquoise water, creamy hulls, a few warm notes of red. The reflections in front break into abstract patches of teal and dark green. It is bright, a bit dazzling, very summer.
