I don't often paint kids in wetsuits though that is most definitely

the weapon-of-choice when dealing with the cold southern waters

of our surf beaches.... fresh and frosty straight from the Antarctic!

....we breed them tough down here!  I'm posting it because even though

my subject matter hasn't changed, my technique has.

2010 work in progress



I'm trying something new...soon I will be able to let you see how they  turn out.

That's IF they work out!

                  I'll let you know :)

Summer is sailing weather.

Any weather is sailing weather!

I graduated from dinghies, to catamarans, to trailer-sailers, to cruising yachts

to racing yachts....the big ones! Now I'm more involved with painting canvas

and not hoisting canvas!

............at this age these little Tackers have a life ahead on the water.....

                                              ....they're blessed!!
