Oil on Canvas

Piers along the river line up uniformly. Although somewhat intrusive, they represent the residents’ primary connection to the water.
Sometimes a Nor’easter mows them down like a house of cards, lumber cascading down the line in a steadily increasing, ramming mass.
Needless to say – the life expectancy of a pier is short, and pier builders usually fare better than fisherman.
This painting depicts anything but a threat and represents the variations of color for sky and water one views on the river.
