Home Port


16x16
acrylic on cradled wood panel
Sold

I had been observing this boat when it was tied up across from us for several weeks. When I saw this couple heading to another slip, I had to take this picture. The water was like glass! I will be submitting this one to the Valley Art Gallery in Walnut Creek in a few weeks. I am probably going to frame it using John Annesley's floater frames. I ordered 2 not too long ago and was impressed by the quality.

    Kaethe this is STUNNING! You have captured the glassiness of the water perfectly and the colours are so opulent. You will knock 'em dead at that gallery!

    This proves it is true that if you paint something you know and love - you get a great painting. I love the richness and feeling of the light you captured.
