Marina

This painting portrays a weathered gas pump at The Oar House in Pensacola, Florida, its rusted panels and faded gauges bearing the marks of time and salt air. Handwritten labels and worn dials hint at countless refuelings for boats heading out onto the water, while surrounding textures suggest sun, wind, and lake life. Soft washes and earthy tones give the scene a quiet, nostalgic mood. The piece celebrates a slower, utilitarian past—where function came first and even the most ordinary equipment carried the character of place and memory.
