Artist's Statement about this work
Walking through Richmond on a little footpath along the banks of the Thames, I noticed these multicolored rowboats tied to an ancient-looking wood-and stone dock. I loved the playful colors of the boats, the bumpy rhythm of them, not-quite-lined-up, diagonals contrasting with the horizontality of the dock, the playful light and shadow on the water, and the unpredictable texture of the stone. Yet, for all the playfulness, these boats are going nowhere! They're practically waving to the passers-by, "Come play with me! Take me out on the water!"
