Not sure if this hardworking dinghy on the English coast was awaiting repairs or had been "put out to pasture," but either way it seemed very dignified, even in its decrepitness.
Thanks, Jim, for letting me paint from your inspiring photo!
The photo is a little tilted, but you get the picture... so to speak. : ) Not sure if I'm going to sell this one or hang on to it. [OK... Now I've sold it, to a collector in Maryland. Thanks, Pat!]
From a photo I took on the way back from my annual "art pilgrimage" to Taos, New Mexico. Not sure what kind of trees they are, but they turn the most amazing shades of orange. They literally glow in the daylight.
