Sunshine n Sailing - graphite and watercolor wash

Sunshine n Sailing is a graphite sketch on 140 lb watercolor paper. I used a light watercolor wash with sepia and paynes grey through the loosely sketched trees and water to give the piece a touch of nostalgia or a little bit of a vintage feel.

Years ago I painted this same scene as an acrylic painting. The inspiration comes from a photograph I took during the Leech Lake Regatta in 2002. The acrylic painting was titled Harbor Boy. You can see this piece on my archived painting website at: jessietownsdin.com.

Sunshine n Sailing is framed and matted to fit an 8" x 10" image area and overall frame dimension is 17"x21". This piece is available for sale at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. 218-547-3729
