High and Dry depicts a solitary boat resting on land, propped securely by rusted red metal supports. The vessel’s red hull contrasts sharply with its black underside, while a small white cabin with black windows punctuates the form. Above, an expansive blue sky fills the upper half of the composition with clarity and openness. Surrounding the boat, earth tones and patches of greenery ground the scene in a quiet coastal environment.

A lone figure seated to the right, dressed in subdued colors, adds a human presence without disrupting the calm atmosphere. The painting’s loose, expressive brushwork and bright palette evoke a sense of stillness and reflection, capturing a moment suspended between movement and rest.
