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 />
