That’s an acrylic?!? Wow, so detailed. Beautifully done!
Kate Eller replied
uh-huh…..I find that acrylic is a very controllable medium…..and easy to redo if necessary. Thank you much much Hillie my friend.

Kate Eller replied
Hi Chris….thanks for “awesome”. That is a word best used to describe your work my RB friend. You have definite professional talent.
Colin Cartwright
An excellent sharpened and revitalized scan of the excellent original, Linda.
A beautifully detailed work, and the limited skyscape colour, really enhances this fine piece.
Kate Eller replied
Hello Colin! I always love your thoughtful critiques, and appreciate them very much. The first upload was a digital capture with my old outdated camera ( which needs to be in a museum ). This upload is an almost perfect match. Scanning almost always gets it right, but I can’t do that with my larger pieces. Will have to get a new 8 or more megapixel camera. Always look forward to your comments Colin.
Brian Towers
A lovely romantic study Kate. I used to build models like these in my youth so they particularly apeal.
Kate Eller replied
Thank you Brian for such a special comment. Do you still build ship models? or do you still have any you have done? I always wanted to try that.
GEORGE SANDERSON
Stunning artwork, Kate the rigging is brilliant !!!!
Kate Eller replied
Awwwww George, you are too nice. I guess it just takes a steady hand. Thanks much for your lovely comment.
Seth Weaver
The details and the reflections are just wonderful. The sky is just the perfect contrast to all the intricate ships!
Kate Eller replied
Hi Seth my friend! You are so kind to say that. I am a render person normally…I render just what I see. But on this one I took artistic license with an old image I liked.
Cynthia Adams
What a stunning composition and beautifully rendered.Such a talent..Bravo.xxxxxxx
Kate Eller replied
Very much appreciated Cynthia. That is so sweet of you. I must say, I am so very impressed with your beautiful work and excellent style.
Linda Callaghan
still stunning Kate….detail is amazing must have taken you a while to do all the lines on the ships which are perfect!
Kate Eller replied
Oh, Linda, you are too too kind dear girl. You say the kindest things. You know me, I use those teeny tiny brushes, which all of my teachers told me to throw away…....but how are ya ‘posed to get all that teeny tiny detail??
Lynda Robinson
What a wonderful painting Kate (or should I say Lindy Lou)!!!! Love everything about this one.
Kate Eller replied
No Lyndy, it’s Lindy Looooooo :) Where have you been anyway girl? You’ve been out in that studio, talking to your bird again haven’t you? I’ll bet you have finished another masterpiece. Gotta go see. Thanks for the sweet comment my dear friend.
Alexandra Felgate
Wow, this is just beautiful. When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a charcoal drawing, amazed to see it is in acrylic! Just fabulous work!
Kate Eller replied
Hi Alexandra. Really?....like a charcoal? I’ll have to go see. Yep, acrylic it is. I use acrylic quite a bit as opposed to oil simply because it is quicker…...but I like oils better because of the “workableness” of it…...s’just messier. Thank you so much for your very kind comment Dear.
Hidemi Tada

Kate Eller replied
Hidemi my friend, Hello! No, not great…..but you are so kind to say so. Thank you always for your steady support. You are the one with the great talent….and don’t you forget it.

What a wonderful comment. Thanks Jim. If YOU are impressed, then I will take that as a great compliment, and one to be proud of. Always appreciate your support.
Brian Towers
The old sailing ship models are long gone Kate, sunk without trace as they didn’t get many miles to the galleon. Sorry about the pun, I’m afraid it’s in the nature. However, I always think sailing ships were great subjects for paintings.
Kate Eller replied
Sorry I missed this comment Brian. Heyyyyy, that was a funny pun Brian. When you least expect it, I’ll getcha back…................ :O
