Perfect Wind For Sailing

May 6, 2015, "Pefect Wind For Sailing"

One of the Toogoodoo 365 series,  5 x 7 canvas panel

Just a perfect wind for sailing a boat like this one! But no sailers today. 

I started to paint this from my dock but the wind was so strong that it was hard to paint while holding my pochade box and tripod with one hand. So I had to come in to finish. 

Would've been a fine sailing day though!

I took my time with this one and is a studio painting and is framed in 3" gold frame. Ready for the gallery!  

For a more impressionistic version done with a palette knife, here is the April 21 painting

What's the saying?

Red sky in the morning, sailer's warning

Red Sky at night, sailer's delight.

Well, it's not really a red sky but with the bright orangey sunset sky

it reminded me of that saying.

And anyway, wouldn't this be a 

"sailer's delight"?  

Just to be here?

Would be mine!

A beautiful day in Charleston!

The harbor front is full of sail boats

spinnakers full out

one making a run for it

and some small day sailers in the background

rounding their marks!

I've been painting boats a lot lately. This one started out like some of the others 

BUT sometimes they just take on a life of their own!

As I was painting this sailboat, I envisioned an early morning mist or fog

with sailboats in the background and one beautiful red lady

stepping forward through the fog.
