What is really interesting about this piece is his deliberate choice to leave the wall in the center of the work empty and white. as you can see in the sketch there may have been a frame but hopper may have thought it detracted from the mood he was trying to set. It is neat that the whole middle of the painting is just white but does not feel incomplete or off. it actually allows me to pay more attention to the water. Although the work is very simple and empty I get a lot of emotion behind it.
