"Estuary, Nova Scotia," is a splendid work that captures the serene and rhythmic essence of a coastal landscape through a modernist lens. At 15 x 22 inches, this oil on board composition balances abstract sensibilities with a subtle nod to realism. The artist has masterfully employed a soothing palette dominated by blues and earthy neutrals, which mirror the tranquil waters and the expansive skies of Nova Scotia's estuaries.

The viewer's eye is drawn across the canvas by the elegant, simplified forms of sailboats, their sails depicted in an array of geometric shapes that convey both movement and stability. The boats seem to drift lazily on the glassy water, perhaps awaiting the whisper of a breeze to set them dancing over the waves. The layering of colors and the interplay of light and shadow give a sense of depth and dimension, suggesting the gentle ebb and flow of the tides.

Haworth's signature on the bottom right corner is a discreet mark of his presence, a humble gesture on a canvas that speaks volumes of his ability to communicate the profound beauty of a maritime scene. This painting is not only a tribute to the picturesque estuaries of Nova Scotia but also a testament to Haworth's skill in capturing the essence of a place where water meets sky, and nature meets art.
