Schooner, Backlit

Schooner, Backlit, Watercolor
Schooner, Backlit
watercolour on panel, showing the Schooner 'When & If' commissioned by General George S Patton, with the following intention:

"When the war is over, and If I live through it, Bea and I are going to sail her around the world."

I painted this composed as it is to make the water the feature of the painting. Yes, the schooner is a beautiful boat, but the majesty of the ocean should never be forgotten or overlooked.
