A Seaside Painting

海滨画作

It's a painting of a seaside. The main colors are blue, white, and brown. The sky is light blue. A white cloud covers half the light blue sky. Two white birds fly through the air. The bottom half of the painting is white sand and brown shrubs¹. At the bottom right you can see part of the ocean. The ocean is dark blue with small white waves. A boat is sailing by. The boat has four big, white sails. It has a wooden hull². An old wooden house sits on the white sand. No smoke comes from the brick chimney. The roof sags³ in the middle. The house has a front porch. Five wooden posts support the porch. A clothesline is behind the house. Clothes are hanging on the line. But there are no people anywhere. Maybe they are inside the house. Maybe they are walking along the beach.
