DREAM BOAT

                                Acrylic on linen 22x30"

As a follow up to the last piece, I took this in a more abstract, minimalist direction. The boat was actually sitting in absolutely calm water with the clouds and sky reflected. By the time I was finished, it took on an almost surreal, dreamlike quality.  These last two colorful paintings were good for my soul during the cold, gray, stormy days of winter here on the Oregon coast.
