"Dockside with Boats" Painting

Title: Dockside with Boats
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Board
Framed Dimensions: 12" x 16"

In this vivid waterscape, Virginia Stonebarger captures a serene marina scene filled with sailboats and rowboats gently moored at dockside. Painted in acrylic on canvas board, the work bursts with expressive color—cool blues and teals contrasting with warm reds and purples that shimmer across the water’s surface. Stonebarger’s brushstrokes are energetic yet fluid, suggesting movement and light without sacrificing structural clarity. The boats are simplified yet distinct, floating in a dreamlike setting that balances abstraction with familiarity. A joyful, almost musical interpretation of leisure and landscape, this painting reflects Stonebarger’s deep sensitivity to both color and place.
