"Old Workhorse-Thunder Bay", 7x5, oil on board-$200
During our recent vacation in New England we went on a whale watch in Bar Harbor, Maine. The whale watch was awesome, even though I usually get sea-sick on boats! But thanks to two incredibly beautiful whales that kept surfacing at least a dozen times during the voyage, I'll always have incredible and unforgettable memories of Bar Harbor.
While we were on the catamaran, I met two new friends, Vicki and Samantha from Vermont. Vicki gets seasick just like me, so we became instead "misery buds". But by the end of the trip, we were both so excited by that pair of whales, that we forgot our tummy troubles!
I'll never forget how huge these creatures are, yet how graceful they are in the water. My eyes filled with tears each time they came up to the surface and then hardly made a sound or a ripple as they re-entered the ocean like a pair of 90 pound ballerinas!
While we were en route to see the whales, I snapped a bunch of photos of fishing boats. This one , in particular, caught my eye. It's called "Thunder Bay" and all I could think was that it's certainly a workhorse of the fishing industry in that area! If anyone know anything about this boat, please let me know. The island across the way is one of the many small islands in Frenchman's Bay.
I never thought I'd be doing "guy paintings" a year ago, but this area with all of its old workhorse boats and fish shack charm has caught at my heartstrings!
