Race committee boat

It was my lucky day today. My friend Michele extended an invitation to paint with her at the Hudson Yacht Club, and I was free. We made the most of this perfect — and near windless — morning by setting up in the shade with a view of the race committee boat and its companions. I could have done an entirely different painting from the same spot: a gaggle of geese feeding on the lawn and then descending, single file, down the boat launch and into the water for a swim. Maybe the geese will be next time.

    I think I lost my comment. Will write again so forgive me if this is a repeat.This is another of your amazing boat scenes. And another that I would have loved to watch you paint.

    The way you treat the reflections on the water is amazing, I’m still learning about watercolour techniques, but so realistic!
