In this new #stayhome world, I feel fortunate that the Sailboat Artwork Studio is in the solarium of our home. The light in the studio is perfect for painting and cat napping, so Bandit and I spend most of our time here. What really makes the Sailboat Artwork Studios so special is that just outside the window are some of the most beautiful views on the planet. Having so much natural light and ever ready nautical references outside the window definitely influence the art that is created here. What I am really missing here, though, is my sailing community. A group of serious yet fun, tough as nails, awe inspiring individuals. Their skill and creativity on the water; managing wind, adrenaline and going fast, all while enjoying the fellowship that comes from sharing a common passion, is the real reason that I paint. To all my fellow sailors and lovers of the sea, I miss you. Please let me know how you are managing in this new age, ways you are staying connected to the water, and stories from your favorite sailing adventures.
With kind regards,
Denise
