Artist, American, born 1937

The image shows a beach scene with the view from the shoreline looking out over the ocean. There is fog partially obscuring the horizon, making it hard to differentiate where the sea meets the sky. Waves are crashing towards the viewer, with white foam contrasting against the dark ocean. The color scheme is grayscale, creating a moody atmosphere. A single bird is flying in the distance, breaking the misty backdrop. The overall lack of color gives a calm and subdued effect to the scene.
