This work beautifully portrays a serene winter day at a Brooklyn port in New York City.

Two large ships, painted in bold strokes of black and red, sit closely together at the pier, almost like an affectionate pair braving the chill together. The surrounding dock and port building are gently blanketed with snow, adding to the serene atmosphere. A tugboat streams up the East River, its small yet significant presence captured in the background.

The New York City skyline, rendered in a foggy gray, subtly rises behind the scene, hinting at the towering structures with an impressionistic touch. And the light pink-gray sky casts a gentle hue over the entire composition, enhancing the sense of calm and quiet.

Dad had an exceptional talent for capturing the essence of a scene with minimal detail, relying on expressive brushstrokes and a masterful use of color. His love for boats and the bustling waterways of New York City often found their way into his work. This particular view from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade provided him with endless inspiration, allowing him to convey the harmony and beauty he saw in everyday scenes.

Through this piece, Dad not only depicted a moment in time but also his deep admiration for the city's vibrant energy and the quiet companionship of ships at rest.

On this day in 1965, Dad found this romantic scene with Us Two. ❤️
