"Alone"
I did the first version of this shortly after my wife Polly died.  Whether or not that influenced the title I do not know.  Quite a number of people have thought and said the figure looked to be me.  It was not.  The scene was taken from two old timers loading their boat at Peshtigo Harbor near where I live in Wisconsin.  In the studio I decided to eliminate one figure and just have the solitary old guy at his boat.  I think that is where the title came from.  I had numerous requests for Tiles and printed reproductions but the digital image I had on file was too poor quality to reproduce so I have done it over-better I think.
