I went down to the Embarcadero to paint San Diego’s historical boats at the Maritime Museum. There were eight or ten of them representing different eras, from sailing ships through submarines. None of them were decked out in pastels, but somehow these colors suited the morning.

Thank you Terry, I used a very rough piece of watercolor paper for this one, it made the pastel colors pop.

Wow Sarah, this is different for you! Love the composition, the various lines and textures- especially in the water. A really interesting painting, cannot stop looking at it.

She, during our trip to the Fallbrook show, I became aware that I was responding very positively to the paintings with simple whimsical shapes and cheerful colors. So, that is where I am go as a painter for the next while. Thank you for the reinforcement!
