8.5"x11.5" Gulf wind rakes the sky as working boats rest in a hush of blue. A delicate watercolor study of the Corpus Christi shrimp fleet gliding past a raised bridge, rendered in soft ceruleans and salt-gray silhouettes. Loose washes capture rippling bay water, while quick inked lines suggest masts, rigging, and wharfside forms. The timeworn mat and gentle foxing specks read like sea spray—evidence of a life well traveled—adding vintage charm to this quiet portrait of coastal industry.
