The Water Front

“The Water Front,” is a richly textured abstract work dominated by vertical streaks and layered washes of deep blues, purples, and teals that evoke a rainy or misty night. Warm accents of gold, yellow, and orange break through the cooler tones like distant lights or reflections shimmering on water, while darker, denser areas near the bottom suggest a shoreline or the surface of a harbor. The paint surface itself is heavily worked—cracked, scraped, and built up in places—giving the scene a weathered, atmospheric quality, as if the viewer is looking through rain-streaked glass or across a dark, reflective waterfront. The overall mood is moody and contemplative.
