In this work, we find ourselves at a charming dock of historic Cold Spring Harbor, nestled on Long Island, New York.

The scene captures a lively summer day, with a sky painted in shades of blue adorned by fluffy clouds. The water reflects the docked boats, creating a tranquil and picturesque view. Lush green hills rise in the distance, framing the idyllic harbor.

Cold Spring Harbor is not just any village; it’s a historic gem in Huntington, New York. In the distance on the right, the renowned buildings of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory subtly peek through, standing as a testament to the area’s rich history and contribution to science. The romantic marine vessels, patiently resting in the harbor, add to the charm and serenity of the scene.

Dad, with his keen eye for beauty and detail, found endless inspiration in places like this.

We often wandered throughout Long Island together, especially along the north shores, searching for the perfect spots for him to paint. This piece, with its vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes, beautifully encapsulates the essence of those cherished moments we spent together. It’s not just a painting; it’s a memory, a reflection of our shared journeys and his deep love for capturing the world around him.

On this day in 1989, we found this spot, From the Dock. ❤️
