Fortunately this huge vessel was still there today, but painting it only reinforced the feeling that I need to paint more ships, more often, and on a larger scale.
I will return tomorrow (if it is still here) and paint a larger version.
One gets accustomed to certain familiar subjects, and it is always tempting to take the easy road, the low road. A wonderful challenge like this is to be celebrated.
As you have probably guessed, I enjoyed my afternoon at the port. I need to paint there more often if I'm to develop an easy competence in painting ships, both large and small.

Hi Jimu. I enjoyed painting it so much I'm going to paint a larger version tomorrow. That is, if it hasn't left port in the mean time. I'm off to Golden Bay this weekend to paint the Archway Rocks. PAPON has a show arranged now for June. Make sure you have at least two paintings. Cheers. Ross
