Sail fast, dreamers! James Edward Buttersworth (1817 - 1894) #IllustrationInspiration
"Mariette" was built and designed in 1915 by Nathanael Greene Herreshoff in Bristol, Rhode Island. This mono-hulled, twin-masted schooner's overall length is a whopping 42.06m. Imagine being able to sail upwind in this behemoth! #boats #yachts #Herreshoff #yachtpainting #Mariette
This image shows Velsheda flying her spinnaker (aka kite). It's one of the most exhilarating moments on a race boat - when the wind is behind & the noises of the surging water rise & splash off the back of the boat. #boats#yachts #Jclass #yachtpainting #sailracing
New series! Since I probably won't be able to own one for awhile, I decided that I can satiate myself through fantasy painting. The Mariquita- meaning ladybird in Spanish, is probably the last 19-Metre Gaff rigged Cutter in existence. William Fife & Sons (Scotland) in 1911.
Lots of daylight today - for chipping away at some picture book deadlines.
On this day in 1785, John J. Audubon was born in Haiti. Many years later, a young girl became obsessed with his paintings - forever branding her as a "bird nerd".
Taking a rainy day moment to reflect on the mastery of Edward Robert Hughes (1851-1914). #illustrationinspiration
Winter's not over yet! Although with the recent melt, the yard is now a pond.
Theophile Steinlen (1859 - 1923) totally understands the magic of black cats. How could you not? #illustrationinspiration #blackcats
