A Seat Beside Blue

Summer PatternsContact me about this pieceAbout this piece
At Sunset Pier in Key West, lime-green umbrellas rise above rows of brightly painted tables and stools overlooking turquoise water. Strong sunlight reveals the grain of the wooden deck and casts crisp shadows, while repeated canopy shapes and converging railings give the composition depth. The unoccupied seating lends a moment of stillness to the saturated waterfront scene.
The story
At the water’s edge in Key West, every empty stool offers a different color in which to pause. Sunlight warms the weathered boards beneath broad green umbrellas, and small ripples texture the blue beyond the railing. A wooden signpost points toward distant cities, placing their names against the open sky. Here at Sunset Pier, the eye travels only as far as the low line of palms before returning to a patch of shade.
