Rockport, MA
Oil on Canvasboard, 24 x 18 in

The water here is a delicious, gorgeous emerald green at the depth you see in Rockport Harbor at high tide. I was looking towards Motif #1 but decided to leave it & almost everything else out. A vision of de-colonialized MA, with the exception of the dock and pier. The story here for me as usual is the water, the shadow of the boat on the water, the chain reaching from the dock to the ocean floor. There are a few details on the boats that I will fix once it is drier.
