Night reflection

Night in the harbor. The boats are white shapes on deep blue water, and the lights of the town above spill long orange and gold reflections across it.

Of Daniel Volkov's harbor pictures, this is the most dramatic. Ultramarine against amber, thick expressive oil paint, every knife stroke a separate flash of light on moving water. Small, but it holds a wall.
