T. H. Roberts (1961- present)
"Mosquito Point Dock," 2002,
16 x 20 inches, oil on canvas
 Private Collection

T. H. Roberts knows Mosquito Point on the Rappahannock River at the Chesapeake Bay.  Many a boyhood adventure helped to form his love of the water and kept the residents entertained.  Mosquito Point Dock is a plein air creation capturing the early morning still before the day's fun begins.  The simplified forms modeled by a growing light  capture that early morning calm.  Roberts' composition captures the age and graceful form of the dock and the light hitting the boat expressing Roberts' attachment to the water and his love of fishing even as it contributes to the picture's quietude. Like many in Virginia, Roberts often enjoys the pleasures and joy of the "Rivah."  The early morning light and sense of peace and beauty in this work offer a respite from the hustle and bustle of life.
