On the way back to Logan Airport in Boston from our heavenly week on Cape Cod last September, we stopped at Plymouth to see the Mayflower II. I took tons of photos of this incredibly beautiful exact replica of the famous wooden boat. . . home to over 125 people for a treacherous journey and most of their first winter in the new World.
Last October I began this painting, but never finishing it, I packed it away. This week I got it out, and like the last picture I posted, finished it and am ready to get out another . . . or create something from scratch. It feels so good! http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q...9/100_2250.jpg The Ship's Boat and the Shallop watercolor on Cartiera Magnani Acquerello 140lb. cold press

I have to tell you that I am in complete awe of your talents. Your paintings have transported me to the mountains, which I so love and now you have taken me to the sea, you have transported me back in time and I can see the pilgrams roaming around the docks next to these beautiful old boats. I can see these locations as if I am standing next to you as you photograph and paint each one of the lovely locations that you have shared with us. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.  Abbie
