Bristol is the home of Herreshoff boats and Museum and although no longer building boats the museum and shop are busy restoring and caring for their fleet of vintage Herreshoff designed vessels. On one of our first nights we sailed on 'Kestral' a Fisher Island 41 Herreshoff design. The wind was a fresh 15-20 knots so the sailing was dramatic....with some 'rails in the water' too. Wonderful!

Deb, your compositions are always so great. I really like the head on view of the boat. (Sorry--but you know my nautical language is nil.) The colors you used look perfect for the coastal areas. I look forward to you doing some Oregon Coast drawings some day, too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like that one..it's one of my favorites too. I got out to do sketching as much as I could around family and social obligations so I am pleased with that and I just love this area of the country!
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy reading and seeing your travels Deb. Your sketches bring your descriptions to life.
ReplyDeleteDeb, I love it when you draw boats. Your personal experience with them shows in your sketches. These are lovely. I like the broad color strokes offseting the precise linework.
