This painting depicts three figures seated at the edge of a vibrant blue body of water, viewed from behind. They appear relaxed and casual, with two wearing light-colored swim caps and one in a yellow shirt. In the distance, a small red boat floats on the water, creating a striking contrast against the azure expanse. The water's surface is painted with dynamic brushstrokes, capturing the sparkle of sunlight creating a shimmering path across the water. The composition places the figures in the lower third of the canvas, emphasizing the vast expanse of water and sky that fills most of the frame. The scene evokes a sense of peaceful companionship on a summer day, fitting for the title "buddies."
