\"October<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the paintings I did for Ricochet<\/em><\/strong> (click HERE<\/a> to learn about this upcoming collaborative show) was month #10, September, 2014, when our theme was WATER. I knew immediately what I wanted to paint: the waterline of a ship<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n

The back story. We have a boat, which we moor on the Columbia River in Portland. In August, we went out for a weekend of boat camping with our daughters and grandkids. The weather was perfect and in a rare burst of exuberance, I put on my suit and jumped in the river for a float on the inner tube. While I was in the water, I noticed the waterline of our boat. It was a beautiful array of colorful patinas. I had someone carefully hand me my camera and I snapped a shot, thinking what a great painting it would make.<\/p>\n

\"Rapture<\/a><\/p>\n

Fast forward to September. I dug out the photos I had taken and also looked on the internet for rusty ship hull waterlines<\/em>. Oh, so many possibilities. I scooped up all the images and chose one for this project.<\/p>\n

\"Ship<\/a>Then it was paint day with Cynthia.<\/p>\n

By the end of the afternoon, it was pretty much completed. I futzed with it a bit more the next day, did the final wax, and called it done.<\/p>\n
