Waiting To Board
I found this scene along a neglected stretch of riverbank—nothing curated, nothing arranged. A broken chair, its straw seat long unravelled, faced a decaying boat tethered loosely to the shore. They looked like they belonged to each other, equally abandoned, equally patient. The title came instantly. Not poetic, just accurate: Waiting to Board. The composition rests on tension—foreground versus background, texture versus reflection. The rope cuts a diagonal across the frame, literally tying the objects together. The chair leans slightly left, softened by rot and time, while the boat points right, cracked paint peeling toward the water. Neither is in motion, yet the whole image feels held in anticipation.

A pale limestone rock occupies the right side as a strong compositional counterweight. Its softly lit surface and visible fissures add tactile interest and a clear tonal anchor, separating the butterfly’s warm hue from the busier greens and ochres behind. The diagonal stems and overlapping blades create a natural, slightly chaotic geometry that conveys a…
