Great composition of colors and shapes. But one question–I can’t figure out what the thing with the hole is.

That is gorgeous.

Weathered wood is an unfailing subject. Barns, boats, porches, fences. There’s something painterly about the striated and mottled surfaces. This is a very nice example.

The blue of the upper panel (of the boat-seat?) is so blue. Despite-or-because-of having almost disappeared.
The lower panel is very late-Turner.

Ok, to quote a line from Dirty Harry, “Hey, I gots to know”.
If that is a hinged boat seat, is the function of the hole to place a stopper so it will not fold down in high surf?
Hey my campus is literally on the shore of Lake Michigan and I should know this–but I don’t. My living room is littered with beach artifacts from 19th century shipwrecks–a barrel cant, oarlocks, many dunnage sticks–see?–I’m not a nautical idiot–but I don’t recognize that fixture.
I gots to know. (Awaiting the .44 pointed at me, not knowing whether it’s loaded. . .)

The mystery “object” is a portion of gunwale with its drain hole?
Can a person who understands art explain why the yellowish streak of bared wood seems to be essential to the effect of the whole picture?

Recalls an artist’s palette.
