Tacking

This is one of the paintings from a series I did on sail boats. I've always been fascinated with working boats, unusual since I was raised in Pittsburgh, PA and never grew up around the water. However. after receiving an invitation from a friend to spend an evening on the timing boat for the sail boat races, part of my heart has been captured. Thank you Jeannie. I did a fair amount of sketches while on board and took many photo's. My first attempts yielded either mast tops or, water. Finally got it timed to include the boats and all without getting seasick!
