“Gulls at Union Wharf” is an acrylic painting, 14″ x 20″ on board and offered custom framed for $795. This is part of my show opening September 7th in Port Townsend at Gallery Nine. Email me if you’re interested.

Gallery Nine in Port Townsend is where both Nancy and I show. It was just voted best art gallery in our county (and that includes Mount Olympus and the Blue Glacier).  It’s not the first time. In fact, by my count, Gallery Nine has won that award four out of the last five years, and I think for good reason. It’s a happy, fun and fairly prosperous place considering it’s remote location, and the wine and goodies at the monthly gallery walk aren’t bad either.

 

This original painting has been in our collection for awhile now, but it’s time to let it go. This was our boat for over a decade, and I did some major restoration on her. It’s a somewhat historic boat with a nice pedigree, and I still miss it. The painting was actually to commemorate the new sails we just bought. Notice the new sail ties, the pure whiteness of the main (soon to change after some use and stress). They match the color of Nancy’s hair that is just barely visible through the open hatch (that got that way by use and stress).

 

I’ll be in the Wooden Boat Festival this coming weekend with our new boat, a Lightning named Thriller, and the gallery show opens on Saturday evening from 5:30 to 8pm with wood-turner Chuck (CW) Stern. Come down for both and say hi and help me sell out the show on its opening night. I’ll be on the boat most of the weekend.

 

Thanks for reading this week.
