DescriptionFramed and glazed. Image of a red sun (middle center) over an ocean. The sun is slightly off center, and 3 S-shaped reflections are seen in the ocean (bottom third). The sun is placed low to the ocean with a yellow background and a wisp of a dark cloud (upper left) is the only other ornamentation on the image. The image is minimal and uses contrasting colors to emphasize the vividness and centrality of the sun.
