25x20 Paper framed acrylic

This sophisticated painting on paper is beautifully framed in a simple white mat. The water is white to represent a dream like quality. The sky is a dark grey to make a mysterious night.

This series is painted for women who sailed on tail ships in the 17 and 18th century. I have been enamored with their bravery and unending knowledge and courage. This series is dedicated to them. The most heroic story is the one of the wife of a captain, who would strap herself and her child to the bottom of the ships masts, so they would not blow over into the sea.
