Description

I captured these two "Bird Boats" moored along the docks of Sausalito. CA, one early morning. These boats have a long history among the fastest racing boats made in San Francisco and the world. Their long heavy keels, keep the sail boats upright in steep turns and high winds. There were about twenty five of these wooden boats made and these two were just waiting to be painted. This painting, now sold, was among my work exhibited at the prestigious Sausalito Art Festival, in California. All the lockers in background are numbered as they were then.

There is a very interesting story behind these Bird Boats, as I found out when I exhibited at the Sausalito Festival of Fine Art and a woman, whose father still owned one, told me about their fascinating history. Please don't go now, but you can view it by searching the Bird Boats of San Francisco. When I took a photo and then painted this painting I had no idea just what a rarity they were.

I am a “realist” painter, not a photo-realistic painter. I regard myself as a self-imposed “Representational Realist.” “I only represent, reality, God makes everything, perfectly real.” “Painting for me is much like writing is to an author, once the Paint is put to the Canvas many more than one, can enjoy viewing the Original and finding a Print.”

If you are choosing paper, for wall art and it is to be framed under glass I recommend what I print on, Watercolor Paper. I also print on Canvas, with the same, clear, results. The other surfaces, like Metal and Acrylic make great choices for areas with high moisture like kitchens and baths too. Hanging any Art in direct sunlight is not recommended.
