Eau de Vie

I finished this commission today of a client's sailboat. She is moving to Delaware in a few weeks and wanted a painting with Corpus Christi in the background. Just delivered it... glad she was so pleased with this surprise birthday gift for her husband. it is 11"x15" unframed and mostly transparent watercolor was used with hits of white gouache for the lines from the mast.

Congratulation Debbie on finishing this art so beautifully. It looks so fresh. We used to go sailing with my husband and only once had chance to have someone to take pictures of us from the sea. I bet your clients husband will be absolutely amazed by your art!
thank you,
Irina

Thanks, Irina! My clients took me out sailing so I was able to get shots of our skyline from the open water... but they actually furnished me their reference photos and told me which one they wanted painted. I didn't have much flexibility in that. Still, I think it worked! Thanks for the kind words.
