“And when the day arrives I’ll become the sky and I’ll become the sea and the sea will come to kiss me for I am going home. Nothing can stop me now.”’

Trent Reznor

This image is a tribute to an old friend, Hilton Matthews, who so sadly died earlier this year. It is a gift for his wife, and my closest friend, Sarah.

Hilton was a well known sailor on the Isle of Wight, and was one of the true characters of the Fishbourne Sailing Club. He weathered many storms during his life. He would have loved this one!

The boat in the image is one which Hilton helped rescue when it ran aground on the rocks.

This was the image i had to start with.

The sky and the seas have been painted, using a variety of brushes in Photoshop CS4.
