Regatta

                                          24x30

I wasn't sure how I could depict the people in the boats without getting into too much detail, so I waited until I was well into the painting before I tackled it. Then I filled in a loosely shaped section with mostly darkish neutrals and cut into the shape with mostly sky colors. I pretty much got the effect I wanted.

Make Way for the Dark Horse

Another sailboat painting. I took 5 sailboat paintings to Alki Arts last week. Tis the season.....

Red Sails

I've been going to town on these sailboat paintings. I want to explore the abstract qualities of the sails as well as capture the movement.
