This work was created as a going-away gift for a childhood friend.

The scene features a familiar and personal dock, one that I had many memories on or around. It also pulls in reference from the movie Jaws, a favorite movie growing up. Unlike the title of the work, the actual river featured here is the Monongahela. The work is done entirely in oils on a cotton canvas.

This portfolio features images to further showcase the project. Listed below are some supplementary details.

• Final painted version
