The Docks


"The Docks," sums up how many of my recent pieces have transitioned from artist's block to inspiration. A summer of hard work had left me with many canvases filled with potential yet puzzles without conclusion. When in doubt, take a walk- or in this case a bike ride. I biked down to the piers and docks in South Boston and was immediately struck by an enormous ship recently docked. The cranes, the crates and the colors owned the landscape against the harbor. Within half an hour of my return home, the final phase of my painting had begun.
