Watercolor Titled: Sailboats Ready to go.
On a vacation trip to Key West last February, I watched the flickering, sparkling sunlight play on the water and how it illuminated and danced on the sides of the sailboats. There wasn't anyone around them that morning except for the lone gull that was sitting on the post cooling its body in the breeze. Everything, including the kayaks, sat waiting for the people to arrive for the day to take them out into the water; out to their next adventure. Where would they go I wondered? Who would be coming that day? By nighttime, when I got back to my hotel room, not a boat was moved and the kayaks were still untouched. Another beautiful day in paradise was spent for them lazily bobbing in the rising and falling tide of the Gulf of Mexico.

What a unique composition--the arrangement of boats--clustered in the corner, their colors contrasted against the expanse of that beautiful deep blue water--such a nice painting.
Linda, what a great perspective to paint from! I like the dark blue, shimmery water, and the way the boats are grouped. Great painting - and what a place to visit!
Thank you Claire and Cecelia. Key West gave us wonderful memories and much to chose to paint from its colorful surroundings and people.
It is great when a painting becomes a souvenier of a wonderful trip. You did a great job with this piece. The water looks so deep and blue...I would love to jump into one of those kayaks and paddle away!
Thank you Julie. In the marina where they were, the water was a deep blue and the sun light was very bright on this particular morning.
Nice painting Linda. Love the sparkle of the water!
I, also, like the shimmering light on the water and boat lines. Great painting, Linda.
Thank you Debra and Pat.
