This is very probably the last time I paint Miss Otago. She is due to go any day now. I was not sure that she would still be on the hard, and anyway, we had a few hours of heavy rain today in Nelson. If it had not cleared I had several other options apart from the marina. In the event, the rain cleared, some watery sunlight arrived, and she was still there.
Today I painted her from the stern for the first time, and it seemed to me that she was sailing away.
So long old girl. It's been good.

15053. "Miss Otago. Sailing Away". Oil on panel. 8x10 in. $150
