commission currently in progress

I visit a site with the client. the next time the client and i meet; i present
a series of studies along with photos taken after spending days at the scene.
In This work along with pastel studies of the client sailing their craft...I needed to take photos to catch the moment and excitement of the client sailing. I believe it brings spirit and joy to the memory and the painting.

For as long as the light prevails...i like to sketch the painting on scene ; especially for both sky and boat details.

Then I work on the rest of the painting in my studio. from my studies and my photos

The painting begun on scene...
