Sea Fever

This is a boat, sitting on the hard down at the marina, I have been meaning to paint for ages. Today there was someone working on the boat, and I thought, today's the day.
I call this one "Sea Fever" after John Masefield's poem. All about getting ready for the tide. Every so often as you work on your boat you find yourself pausing, and looking into the distance, hearing the sea murmur, and the gulls crying...




15055. "Sea Fever". Oil on panel. 8x10 in. $150.
