This painting is very "blue centred." Apart form the ocean, there is blue in the sand, blue in the shadows of the house and the sails. The focal point, the sails on the boat, is the centre of the drawing because it is the biggest thing that is the least blue. However, the dark blue and purple, used in the water to give depth, also direct you eye off the left side of the painting which may indicate that the boat is traveling around the island.
This painting is called The Long Leg by edward hopper. His usual media is oil on canvas. Here's a picture of ol' Ed:
