Sailing Away...

     As a helicopter pilot flying offshore regularly, I see small fishing boats fighting the raging waves in the middle of nowhere, with no one else in sight for miles. Keep wondering what kind of mettle these sailors are made of. Probably it is a question of their livelihood. In contrast, close to the harbour I also see these sailors sailing for fun, entertainment and sport. Life can be such an irony. What ever be the case, boats, big or small, are all really fascinating.
     Recently  I got a chance to witness a Regatta. Sport aside, the artist inside me jumped up with joy at the sight. The result is in front of you.
     Have a nice weekend.

    It's a fresh work, without details, only the colour and the rapid movement of your brush...I like it very much.

    Bets regards,

    Enrique.

    Asit, you captured the feel of the Regatta - the boats jockeying for position - wonderfully.

    Really one of most gorgeous paintings of such a subject! The sky and water are handled beautifully, the colors and the unfussy-watercolor-y-ness of them. The whites of the sails are luminous!

    Very beautiful! The turns of the sailboats make me feel the air movement and lightness of the day.
