I few years back, I got interested in reading the Patrick O'Brian Master and Commander series, its about 20+ books. This led to some drawings and this painting. I did this from a picture I found in a magazine. It was for more of my own enjoyment and to experiment with atmospheric perspective. That is the term to describe the greying out of colors into the distance. This is why a have deep blues and greens in the foreground water and it transitions to the lighter and grayer tones of the horizon line. I really liked the sail colors, the hull color, and the sails on the mizzen being taut against the lines from the wind change on this Ketch sailboat. This was a painting in oil.
