Calirose .....love the faded, weathered look of your boats and what an awesome job you did on the birds, and how you brought the green of the sea into all three of the boats....beautiful picture!

Cali, your Idle Boats picture is so neat. Do you use a pattern or come up with your creations on your own?

Thanks! I usually come up with my own patterns or designs. Sometimes I take a cue from older how to books, mine usually don't look too much like the original, just my style of painting I guess. When I taught, I used those older books also - not as many copyright issues.
