The pastel shades of purples, yellows, and blues and greens give a tropical quality to this painting of houses jauntily perched on a hill. The wharf is a clue: it’s a fishing village. The brushless technique of applying transparent watercolors gives it a floating and dreamy quality, as if the coastal landscape has already floated off to sea. Is it a mirage?
