Topline
Original Watercolor on Canvas | 18 × 24 inches
The rope was originally vivid turquoise, and the float a brilliant orange. But I had a different vision for this painting.
Topline is a tribute to the generations who have worked on the water, enduring difficult conditions to provide for their families and communities. Through the weathered surfaces and intricate details of these everyday working objects, I wanted to acknowledge the lives and labor behind them.
I chose a monochromatic palette to emphasize form, texture, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. The overlapping rope and worn buoy reveal a quiet complexity, where strength and softness exist together.
For collectors drawn to the working waterfront, Topline offers a reflection on endurance, tradition, and the marks left by a life spent on the water.
Materials & Presentation
Painted with professional transparent watercolors on canvas prepared with multiple layers of gesso and watercolor ground, carefully sanded to create a refined painting surface. The completed artwork is protected with archival varnish and presented in a solid maple floating frame, ready to hang.
This is a one-of-a-kind original painting and includes a certificate of authenticity.
