The paddy surface acts as a mirror reflecting the coconut forest under the golden rays of the sun to create this work, Coconut Trees Reflected in the Water. This excludes a tropical feel. The leaves of the coconut trees are slightly dark and the recently harvested paddy is still. This is most likely representative of the fall. The focus of this painting is the coconut forest and in its reflection on the surface of the water. This is a simple and natural portrayal of a landscape without any embellishments.
