Dry - Docked Boats is an acrylic painting done on five separate canvases. I do not have a lot of experience with acrylic painting so this work was a major learning experience for me. I must say there are many advantages to using acrylics. This painting was completed over almost a year with much encouragement and urging from my kids and husband. I found it very difficult to paint since the photo that I used was not the most vibrant and inspiring photo and also I wanted to change some elements of the photo to make it a nicer (at least I think so) painting. My real inspiration came from seeing these boats in 'real life' in Shippigan, New Brunswick and immediately thinking that they would make a great painting. I was so happy that this painting was finally completed that I held an official 'unveiling' party to celebrate.
