In For Repairs

I painted this one in Apalachicola, Florida on a gray winter day. I was set up to paint a boat closer in the harbor but when I saw this one pull in, that quickly changed. I was lured in by the interesting contrast of the white boat against a cluster of dark pines comprising the background. The crew was working on one of the outriggers, so, I figured (or at least hoped) I would have enough time to paint her before she took off. And I did.
