One more painting in the ongoing series of masts and rigging against the sky. This one was done from the Topside Inn at the top of McKown Hill in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. The Friendship of Salem was up on the ways at Sample's Shipyard being overhauled, and it was the perfect foil for looking out at the whole bay beyond.
When I get the itch to paint, and a new subject is not readily apparent, I have several themes that I can return to until a new subject presents itself. A wonderful bi-product of working in a series is that you begin to look and see more intensely at things that others may overlook. After all, painting is a special way of seeing.
