Michael Gillette's usual style of drawing uses bright colours and is often related more to the popular culture, with covers created for books and cd cases. I think this is what drew me to this image when I first saw it, that it was quite different to his other works. To begin with it's his use of the eery green colour throughout the composition, and the way the bare trees look quite skeletal. The lonely, decrepit boat in the middle of the image captures your attention because it is so detailed compared to it's surroundings, and this is then reiterated by it's reflection. I really like the contrast between the controlled drawing of the boat and then the free, loose trees in the background.
