Another painting that was waiting to happen. ‘Fine Day for a Sail’ certainly is its namesake … for that day, there were dozens of sailboats out on the water, and amongst all those sailboats there was a sailing race occurring, far out on Long Island Sound. What I enjoyed about creating this piece was using the palette knife a lot and, leaving certain ‘beginning’ marks in the sky and keeping it lose, and later discovering the element of the ‘pairings’ that occurred somewhat unintentionally in the painting; the couple facing each other on the sailboat in the foreground, the seagulls standing next to each other on the rocks, the sailboats paired in the distance … much like a double happiness. I also loved how the shadows from the clouds fell on the water as the sailboats weaved their way in and out of them as they crossed the water.
