"The Day Sailor" Revisited

"The Day Sailor" Oil   20 x 16  NFS

I painted "The Day Sailor"  couple of years ago for my husband Casey.

 He loves this painting, not only because it was a painting for him, of him, and his boat,  

but of more what it represents to him.

Serenity, Calm, Stress Free and Freedom are some of the adjectives that come to mind when he or we are out there sailing on the Chesapeake Bay. 

 I call it his girlfriend.  Her name is Patriot.

 See the American Flag on the stern?  He will not leave the dock unless his colors are flying. 

 No kidding.

Where am I going with this post you say?  It is a stretch but,

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!

About the painting:  Husband and I went out for an evening sail.  Bad news was that there was absolutly NO wind when we got out onto the Chesapeake Bay.  Good news was that all the reflections in the water were especially bright.  So being the sweet husband I have, he manuvered the boat close to a bunch of crab pot buoys.  I started snapping pictures ... well this little bird was posing for me and so here he is!
