Many years ago ... way back in 1994 I used to go to an art class and this is one of the pictures I did of a yacht entering a harbor in stormy seas to get to safety.
It was long before I had ever been to Whitby.
It was done in oils and was one of the first things I ever did. It took hours of layering on the oils in different shades of blue and green and letting each layer dry.
Now it hangs on my wall and is one I am rather proud of. Griff loves this painting and shows it to all our visitors.
The photo does not do it justice as the sea looks as if it is translucent.
Can you see the resemblance?
I took the photo deliberately from that angle as we entered back between the piers and although the Abbey in the picture is slightly different the similarities are there.
It is poetic license ... but I like it just the same.
More tomorrow ...
