DAY SAILER

20x22" acrylic on linen .....$1600

I've finished the larger pieces I was working on. This one I just completed yesterday. All done with a palette knife, it's pretty sketchy and that's just how I like 'em. This leaves a little to the imagination. I think the viewer should get to participate in the composition. Realism is great. I appreciate it and I like to work on my technical skills too,  but if we are only trying to reproduce what we see..........cameras do a nice job of capturing the subject. I'd prefer to suggest something and add my take on how it makes me feel.
