Waiting for the Ship


15119. "Waiting for theShip". Oil on panel. 8x10 in.

When I arrived at Lake Rotoiti I was not sure what my subject would be. I was hoping for some early snow, but the recent heavy rain had washed that away. Then as I drove up Mt Robert rd t saw this gentleman standing at the end of the jetty.

I don't know what it is that draws us to go to the end of a jetty or pier and look out into the distance. The lure of eternity? Infinite distance? Or perhaps just waiting for our ship to come in.

Anyway, I had found my subject for the day.
