Blowing in the Wind<br />

30 x 38, Oil<br />

I love watching the wind billow out the spinnaker as the boat sails down wind. There are so many light shapes and<br />

shadow shapes in <strong>con</strong>stant motion as the puffs weaken and strengthen. The person on the spinnaker sheet is acutely<br />

aware of each puff’s nuance. For this painting I wanted to paint the glory of the “spinnaker.” The boat is insignificant<br />

and so is the crew. But the shapes - they are the “show.”<br />
