Seaplane at a Cedar Dock

A red and cream floatplane rests beside the cedar dock, its pontoons mirrored in the calm lake. The propeller, struts and cockpit windows make a busy center, while rope coils, plain fuel cans and dock posts fill the right foreground. Forested mountains rise beyond the water in long blue-green layers.

The aircraft gives you broad color blocks, but the thin struts and propeller blades need careful sorting. Cedar boards run towards the shore and create a useful set of warm lines. Reflections break the same shapes into darker, moving pieces below. Use the mountain ridges, shoreline trees and rope textures to finish the quieter parts around the plane.
