My first completed series of works. It was a process of asking myself what kind of paintings describe a part of who I am. Something form my heart. The Sails series was the natural choice. Sailing has been a part of my life for many years. It was introduced to me through my wife and her family and the love of being on the water with friends and family have given me many great memory’s that I love.
When I have sailed, there is a sense of that I have some control and responsibility of where I am. I can steer the rudder and trim the sails to go where I want to go. But I don’t have control of the wind or sea that I am on. It is a lot like how I see life in and how circumstances can intervene. Winds will change and the sea may rise, but I must still sail. It is a beautiful thing for me to see life in sailing and sailing in life. I hope you are moved in the same way when seeing my SAIL series.

Learning to Sail off Rocky Point #2 on canvas
The second of two paintings I created from seeing a group of kids learning to sail off a place called Rocky Point. Breeze blowing, boats bobbing, and kids struggling to get in the little day sailors for the first taste of being a captain of their own ship. It looked to be an uphill struggle but in the end I saw kids being gratified with the wind moving them across the water.
All canvas prints come gallery wrapped and are ready to hang.
The frame is a black country floating frame that adds an inch to the overall dimensional size of the canvas.
