Description
I was beginning the professional part of my art career when I was privileged enough to become involved with the Schooner Sultana Project. Both of those "projects" could, actually should, require a whole lot of time. A conflict, perhaps!? I thought about it for a while trying to decide whether or not I should stop working on the ship and concentrate on my art career, and then one day while on the ship I happened to simply look up and this image is what I saw! So I thought, "wow, instead of choosing between working on the ship or painting, I need to make the ship one of my painting subjects. I found, looking around on the beautiful 18th century schooner, that there was a "painting everywhere you looked". The variety of line, the variety of textures, the contrasting colors, the structural balance inherent in a ship, all make for wonderful compositions. Interestingly, however, for all the balance, precision, and symmetry on the ship and my precise rendering of all of that, there is a strong abstract element to this piece. I love to find and enhance that abstract element in many of the things I paint. I think this piece is a particularly good example of that. ~Jim
