Sail, Don’t Drift
6x6, oil
A good motto to live by...sail, don’t just drift through life...the ride for us all is fleeting!

Sailboat 7 - Catch The Wind
Catch The Wind
6x6, oil
Catch The Wind was a bit of a bugger. I’m going to do a lot of exercises in mixing paint colors after this. I just didn’t get the proper gradation of blues/purples I had in mind for the sail...oh well...always the student!

At Sea, One Needs Little ...a light breeze and a loved one nearby.
Sailboat 5 - Tied To The Sea
Tied To The Sea
6x6, oil
Maybe it’s because I grew up along the Mississippi River, but I’m drawn to boats, fishing, any body of water and in particular these types of little buoys. They remind me of fishing bobbers. As a young child fishing I learned early on to pay close attention to them. Once they started bobbing frantically your heart skipped a beat and you were pretty sure you had a fish on the line.

Sailboat 2 - Gray Dawn Breaking
Gray Dawn Breaking
6x6, oil
Gray Dawn Breaking is the second in a series of boats...this one, an early morning sail on a very foggy morning. I love the subtle lavender mist. The image is a bit speckled from light hitting the oil paint...I’m going to have to practice a little more taking photos of wet paint.
