" Stroke of GENIUS "

This has been quite an adventure. I have enjoyed the discipline of painting more and smaller than usual. Most of my painting's are 24x36 or 30X40. To plan out each stroke and lay it down with out touching it to death ( very hard ) . I have met alot of people from all over the USA. That has made it worth it all. If you have a blog and want to cross promote with me just drop me a E- mail. This is a great way to help each other. Keep your paint brushes wet.

I have never seen so many sail boats before in one spot. This

a fun captureing as many boats and still not paint each of them.
