I quote from the book: "The Public Wharf, Cowichan Bay is a handsome watercolour that Hughes divided into three zones: the foreground contained within the wharf, the water in the middle ground, and the mountains and sky in the background.
The detail of the boats is rich, and the use of colour is varied and lively. The water surface in the sheltered area behind the wharf is quite distinct from the open water beyond. Particularly satisfying are the reflections of the boats, among the most accomplished in his watercolours.
The composition is given visual order by the repeated patterns of the dock pilings in both the foreground and middle ground, and the balance between the verticals of the boat masts and the strong horizontal elements such as the log boom, reinforces this order. Finally the work is animated by an even, bright light, and by the suggestion of a slight breeze in the whitecaps on the water.
