Waiting for My Ship Water front Park River

This was painted from the Waterfront Park along the river. I actually went there hopeful that one of the Tall Ships would be there that will be parading up next week. Unfortunately, no ship was there, but these red benches looking away over the river beneath the Chestnut Tree captured my notice. Without a ship, they became the central point of my painting. Two women came along and sat down on one of the benches, discussion and gazing out onto the water, so I popped them into the painting too!
