A tranquil scene of two fishing boats gently rocking in ocean waves. The boats are barely visible and nearly hidden in dense fog. The water is black but vibrant because of the gentle waves moving through the ocean. The boats are painted in the mid-ground of the painting. There is a small island in the background. It is early morning and fog has settled on the water's surface. The fog provides a sense of calmness to the scene, which offsets the movement in the water. There is a small island in the background that is barely visible behind the boats. The sun is trying to burn through the fog, as dawn quietly creeps into morning.

Highly detailed impressionist oil painting of honeybees flying and landing on Russian sage. Several sprigs of Russian sage are seen in a lovely late-spring garden. Their tall stalks and tiny purple flowers are immediately evident and contrast with the surrounding rows of growing green vegetables. The honeybees have alighted on several sprigs of Russian sage, and they are actively pollinating. The focus of the work is on the Russian sage and then bees themselves. The remainder of the garden can be seen in the background, but it is somewhat out of focus and painted in a more impressionist style. It is mid-day and the late Spring heat is beginning to permeate the scene. The scene is vibrant and energetic. The work is unsigned. It is a masterpiece exquisite detail.
