The watercolor "Morning Shift" (1984) from the series "Worlds of Work" by Jury and Irina Gretsky shows three workers on a construction site. The tones are soft and pastel-like, giving the painting a calm atmosphere. The geometric patterns of the concrete structure in the foreground create an interesting contrast to the more natural forms of the people and the sky in the background. The composition harmoniously captures the working world and daily life of these people. The artistic execution of the subject as a watercolor makes the scene appear soft and less industrial. It emphasizes the harmony between people and work, which creates an interesting contrast to the typically hard workday. The characteristic style of Jury and Irina's artistic work—both always work together on a piece—is evident in the perfect harmony of their painting style.
