A solitary fisherman rows a small, weathered wooden dory through rough, turbulent seas under a dark, stormy sky. The ocean waves crash against the boat, with intense shades of deep blue and green, white foam swirling at the peaks of the waves, creating a sense of struggle against the powerful waters. The fisherman, dressed in rugged oilskins and a weathered hat, braces against the wind, his posture tense as he looks anxiously toward a distant schooner on the horizon. The sky is dark and foreboding, with heavy clouds gathering, pierced by occasional shafts of light. The boat is worn and battered, with chipped paint, scratches, and faded wood showing the hard life of the fisherman. A large halibut lies in the stern, alongside ropes and barrels. The overall mood is one of isolation and impending danger, captured in realistic, textured brushstrokes that emphasize the motion of the waves and the weathered look of the boat and the fisherman.
