The inspiration to paint Still of the Day (20x30) was due to the
combination of colors of these two dories, but also because of the
tranquility of the scene. Boats at slack tide can seem to lay on an
undisturbed glass of water. That moment before the tide turns
and water begins flowing out or in again, seems to me as if time has
stopped and the world is holding its breath. This painting depicts that
moment of calm and peace.
