Description
Soon after I retired from corporate America to begin my life-long dream of becoming a professional artist, I learned of a terrific community project going on in the lovely town of Chestertown, Maryland: the reconstruction of an 18th century British schooner. I wanted to help and since volunteers were to be a large part of the effort, I was able to do so. I loved every minute of it but at one point, I thought I might be taking too much time away from "beginning my art career". Then one day on a break, I looked around at the ship and the beauty of it hit me like a ton of bricks. I thought, "Jim, don't just help build it, paint it; make it part of the development of your art skills, not a hindrance". Since then, I have done several paintings of the Sultana celebrating not only her beauty, but the beauty of sailing vessels in general. This is the latest. I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed painting it!!
