In this painting the painter is using various forms of elements and principles of art to convey his experssion. The elements that I see the author use is line and shape. You can see the artist use the element of line to distinguish the ripple effect of the water. This then brings out the principle of movement, because the lines made by the artist seem to make the water move. Another element the artist exprees is the element of  shape. The shape the artist expresses most is triangles. If you look closely you can see that the shape of the mountains in the background seem to show another element, which is form. The mountains seem to be 3-D.  The final prinicple the artist seems to proclaim is proportion. The boats seem that they can be the same sizes, but because they areach spaced out in between them, the closer they to the viewer from th picture the bigger, but the ones nearear to the back seems to be smaller in shape.
