Against a pale golden and blue sky, a small sailboat sits idly under the rusty oranges and golds of the sun’s rays. Stationed in a drydock—a dock which can be drained to allow the underbelly of a vessel to be inspected—the sailboat patiently waiting for its next outing. Telephone wires remind the viewer of the modern world beyond the tranquil scene. The contrasting shadows of blue offer a quiet, cool counterbalance to the warmth and energy of the painting.
