A seascape painted with a palette knife in thick slabs of oil: a breaking wave in cream, deep plum and pink with four small dark surfers riding it. Paint applied in flat blade strokes with sharp edges, thick enough to cast small shadows, colours part mixed on the surface so streaks of unmixed pigment survive. No brushwork and no fine detail anywhere, figures suggested by three or four knife marks each.
