Day's End



We had our official first snow on Saturday. It was very late this year so one might imagine that I was ready. Alas. My snow tire appointment is tomorrow morning. So it seems odd to be posting this one. My blogging friends in FL may not understand. haha.
I tried to stay true to the values in this one and really underplay hue. Except for that strip of green marsh grass. I couldn't stop myself. As the boat was coming in from Ipswich bay, the sail glowed with the warm, last rays of the sun. That was my priority. I'm not sure how well it worked. What do you see?

Second that. I'd buy it. :)
Is that supposed to be a dolphin distracting the skipper? The jib needs to come down soon!

Well, it is a channel marker, not a dolphin, alas. We never see those in Ipswich Bay. It's unusual to see the sails still up at that point in the channel. Most are motoring by then. Thanks for stopping by Jenku and the painting is for sail. :)

A dolphin? HA. I think that is me sitting under the umbrella. Love the sun on the sail.

Sorry about the channel marker. Over here they tend to be bright red or green. But I realize that would have disturbed the color scheme...

I'm glad I found you blog. What with Melanie having told me all your secrets...

Would I have to sail the painting home then? :)
