I have a love affair for boats. Something speaks to me in the gentle curve of their sloping sides, their kinship to the sea (especially smaller wooden kayaks and canoes), shaped by hand with love and memory.
So no wonder I was drawn to paint this plein air scene (on location) at Keei Beach in south Kona. The warm sun, the dappled shade, the boat resting softly on the beach before another voyage out,...always feels pretty soothing to me.
It is painted in oils on an 8" x 16" canvas panel Enjoy.
