High and dry? or the old chestnut 'waiting for the tide'.

A woman of few words Sylvia.

I'm useless at titles - but I do like your painting: how accurate it is, I don't really know: I'm no authority on boats or the way they sit in the water. Your palette is very serene and restful, though. To me, the boat looks becalmed - stuck in shallow water until the next tide: it's not beached, as in run aground, because it's sitting up straight not leaning to one side. But what do I know - the only thing I know about boats is that when on one, I can't wait to get off again.
