THE DOCK - Original Colored Pencil Artwork | Water Series

THE DOCK

 Water Series / Original Artwork

Some peace is found not in traveling, bit in drifting close to home.

This drawing was inspired by an old dory tied at a dock in Montauk, New York, a place I used to live many years ago. When I return to visit, the boats and water are familiar, but my relationship to the place has changed. I had to move away unexpectedly, not by choice, and much of my family still live there.

This dory became a symbol of that experience, something anchored yet drifting in memory.  Suspended in dark water and reflected light, the boat exists between presence and recollection.  It suggests that places can remain vivid even as time and distance alter them.

Rendered entirely in colored pencil, the piece relies on layered color and reflected light rather than paint to create depth and atmosphere. The shimmering water contrasts with the quiet stillness of the boat, conveying both attachment and separation. For me, the work is less about a specific harbor and more about how memory holds onto a place long after life has moved elsewhere.
