The Gloucester painter that I admire the most is Charles Movalli. He could capture all the stuff that is visible without getting too specific, whether is was an old farm or a boatyard. His paintings are like quick glances, which slowly acquire solidity and meaning. They reward slow viewing. This scene of part of a large, parked boat with a blue sail at the Marine Railways reminded me of his work. 9x12 inches, oil on linen panel.
