Dockside

Description of Art: Dockside evokes a serene, elegantly composed moment by the water—perhaps in a yacht marina or quiet harbor setting. Tarkay, known for his refined portrayals of women in relaxed, contemplative postures, weaves his signature interest in light, mood, and atmosphere into this piece.

The central figure (or figures) may stand or recline near a dock’s edge, enveloped in soft folds of fabric that catch ambient light and motion. The background—suggested rather than elaborated—might display moored yachts, riggings, subtle water reflections, and architectural elements abstracted to enhance calmness. Tarkay’s palette is typically gentle and balanced: muted blues, sandy beiges, warm creams, and soft pinks, contrasted with occasional accent colors.

His technique blends painterly washes with crisp outlines. The serigraph base provides structure and definition, while hand embellishment softens edges, enhances highlights, and imbues the piece with a tactile energy. The figures feel suspended between memory and moment, inviting viewers into quiet introspection.

Dockside is a lyrical meditation on peaceful moments, luxury, escape, and the inner life of leisure. It holds Tarkay’s hallmark blend of sophistication, feminine poise, and visual lyricism.
