Two fishermen work at night aboard their boat, dealing with their catch in silent camaraderie. The moon casts a dark light on the swirling waves under a purple sky, with just enough light to reveal the fiery autumn leaves and evergreen trees on a nearby island. Oil pastels are used to advantage to show the two men and their surrounding seascape in a subdued but brightly colored fashion. It’s the end of their night and they look determined and ready to return home.
