Up Late

Walking through Sea Pines Marina at Hilton Head, Island, I could smell all of the scents of barnacles on the sea wall to the catch of the day. There was a fresh, cool breeze moving the reflections in the water which were catching my eye and I thought about the different lives of the two boats sitting there. One still very much awake and the other surrendered to the night. My oil paint is applied thickly with a palette knife in the water to add to the tactile sense and further bring the vivid reflections to life.
