Evening Arrival<br />

36 x 24, Oil on Linen<br />

This beautiful ship is the CALIFORNIAN. She is<br />

arriving to Santa Catalina Island at sunset on a warm<br />

summer afternoon. The <strong>art</strong>ist imagines the sailors<br />

looking forward to a nice meal in the galley with grog<br />

and grand tales of adventure. Debra and her husband<br />

were in Avalon Harbor at Catalina island on their<br />

sport-fishing boat GROUPER. They saw the ship<br />

approaching and jumped in their dinghy to get a closer<br />

look. It was still afternoon light and not yet sunset<br />

when she shot the photos. Debra added the light<br />

glowing from inside the ship then changed the<br />

atmosphere and clouds to reflect sunset. This was to<br />

honor the beauty and history of the ship and crew.<br />
