DescriptionHere Fort manipulates color to give the feeling of great depth to the canvas. He reserves the warm colors for the foreground, thus grounding the viewer safely to the land. In the mid-ground we see a group of fishing shacks and nets almost falling into the water. The sailboat has little definition and faded cool colors make up the background. This is a device that serves two purposes: one is to give the illusion of heat; the other is to assure that the viewer's eye is constantly returned to the foreground. This is reinforced by tree branches that seem to almost float in the air, would serve as a device to enhance the illusion of vista
