    Very impressive. My grandfather (who was a highly respected and somewhat famous artist) once said that painting boats and ships was the hardest thing an artist could ever attempt. You do it very very well!!

  • Kate Eller replied

    Oh, what a very sweet thing to say. I am very honored by your comment. I went through a phase some years ago when I did a lot of nautical paintings, and recently I was just looking at a book of nautical watercolors by Carl Evers and I think I am getting the bug again. How wonderful to have a grandfather who was a famous artist !

    i remember sailing under the eagles hull in my youth when it came to gloucester it was a cloud of sail and wonderful lines of beauty and work

  • Kate Eller replied

    You sound like a real sailor, and love it. I love painting ships. This one took a while to do because it is quite large. Thanks for visiting my portfolio.

  • Colin Cartwright

    Colin Cartwright

    Superb! My favourite painting subject!
    Beautifuly accomplished here, Linda.
    I like how you have kept to the basic blue and white to make the complexity of the sailing ships stand out. And the contrast between dark and light sails is pleasantly effective.

  • Kate Eller replied

    Thank you so much Colin. Your thoughtful and insightful comments are always so appreciated. I think we both have a great love for ships, don’t we? They are intricate to paint, but well worth the effort in the end.

  • Kate Eller replied

    Oh dear Ismail….I just entered “Afternoon Sailing”. The reason I did that was because I thought it would be the “faster” one in your “Which is Faster” challenge. Of course it is not a ship…it’s a boat!. I hope that doesn’t matter.??

    A magnificent artwork, Kate I love your ships !!!
    we had the tall ships on a visit to the River Tyne, they were docked at Newcastle for about 3 weeks. I went to photograph them as they left the river, but the crowds made itimpossible to get a decent shot !!

  • Kate Eller replied

    Oh, I’m sorry you didn’t get a good shot. The two ships in this painting which look like they are going to run into each other…...actually did. Thanks for your beautiful comment dear friend.

  • lacitrouille

  • Tezz

    Tezz

    This is amazing Kate…... must have been incredibly complicated to paint …. the wind in the sails and the light casting glimpses of shadows really bring everything to life…....

  • Kate Eller replied

    Thank you Tezz. It wasn’t so much complicated as tedious, and time consuming….as detail always is. My eyes were younger when this was done. :)
