Misty Morning Sail,seascape,oil on canvas,8x10,price$600

This painting I did today might also be called "study in grays". We had sunshine today, so I could take a photo of this painting and the boys on a raft painting, "Over There".
I worked a little more on it and taking a picture in the sunshine always helps to capture the true color in my paintings.
