Southport Transient 8 x 10

This is a boat that was in the yacht basin here for a day two summers ago.  I got some good pictures of it because it is an interesting boat and I liked the bright summer sun light on the side of the boat and the colors in the canvas.  This is the second time I've painted it, but, this time I did it on a smaller scale and accented the flags and sail covers.

This is a great little painting. Good design, brilliant color and strong brushwork. Well done.

I saw these guys coasting through Southport last summer and caught a picture.  Later, I heard that they had stopped at the marina that and they were on a long journey down the coast on this little boat.  I thought it looked like quite an adventure.  I sold this picture to someone in Ohio and before I shipped it I looked up the name on the side of the boat, "Habitatcrew.com". It just so happens that they are from Willowick, Ohio and I thought it fitting the painting should be going back to their state.
