I painted this one last night. I liked how it brought back memories of going to Wrightsville Beach before there were parking meters and traffic and you could park anywhere you wanted.
I spent two years living in Beaufort, NC and became obsessed with the wild ponies on Carrot Island and Shackelford Banks that could be seen from the waterfront.
This subject is an old favorite of mine to paint. It's a local man that sails more often than anybody I know. He can been seen in the waterway almost everyday when I'm walking around Southport. My husband actually met him the other day and got his number so that I can show him all the paintings I've done of him - actually, just photos of the paintings. I only have the one I did today because all the others have sold. I guess it is a beautiful boat to everyone else, as well.
