My involvement with the Schooner Sultana program in Chestertown, Maryland, many times had me watching in amazement as the deckhands climbed aloft in the eighty-plus foot masts to tend to the sails and deal with all manner of other issues in the rigging. Their youthful dexterity and skill, not to mention their courage, was always an inspiration to me. In this painting the two deckhands are standing on lines (ropes to the land lubber) and furling the sail. Furling is basically putting the sail away by folding or wrapping it neatly around the yard (spar) and tying it in place. They are about 60 feet above the deck or 70 feet above the water. They do this night or day, good weather or bad, throughout the days, weeks and months of the Sultana's annual mission. One of the things I like most about painting the ship is the sunlight coming through the sails. The light always creates interesting patterns of shadows and of warm and cool colors. This image is a good example of that.~Jim
Jim is a graduate of West Virginia University. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Art in 1970 and a Master's of Instructional Design in 1977. An artist all of his life, Jim took some instruction with Leland McLelland after moving to Central Ohio at the end of 1977. This was a pivotal time for Jim because he finally learned watercolor techniques which allowed him to illustrate. A realistic interpreter of what he sees, Jim finally felt like he'd found the medium that he could identify with. Though watercolor can be unforgiving, Jim has learned to create beautiful watercolors of the things he loves best. As you view his work you will see some of the same themes: barns, old barns with such character; farmsteads, yes you will see some...
