title: Race

(see the full-size close-up below)

I painted this original on a length of weathered driftwood in 1972. This scene is a portion of that work. I tried to capture all the color, the bluster and the excitement of a sailboat race. The cracks and stresses of the driftwood add to the nature of the scene.

To avoid losing any of this detail, I scanned part of the 30 inch by 12 inch driftwood scene with high resolution so that the maximum print size of 23.6 x 36-inches preserves the unique character of this work. The detail swatch will give you some idea of the quality of detail though much finer in the large quality print. Nothing is lost from the impact of this original art.
