Rebel Returns (SOLD)

Battered by icy winds and pelted by sleet, Rebel carves her way through growing swells to return to the shelter of her slip.

I'm particularly happy with this painting, not because of the quality of the finished product but because there IS a finished product. I was just seconds away from wiping (i.e. trashing) it, as it wasn't going well, but at the last second decided to keep it, albeit with a fairly major overhaul. And, ultimately, Rebel survives to sail on.

Many thanks to Rob for the beautiful original photo... to which this painting bears very little resemblance. : )
