"Anchored Memory"
An old ship rests quietly by the shore, its rigging etched against a soft, atmospheric sky. Part of the Impressionist Collection, this artwork captures the poetry of time and tide, where weathered wood and fading ropes speak of journeys past. Gentle washes of colour create a dreamlike sense of nostalgia, inviting the viewer to pause and reflect on stories carried by the sea. Perfect for those drawn to maritime history and the beauty of fleeting moments held in light.
Title suggestion: “Harbour Still” – a simple, evocative title that conveys both rest and atmosphere.
(Other options: “Anchored Memory”, “Silent Mooring”, “Tide’s Rest”)Artist Bio:
