I should name this one..hmm I've been calling it Boats but that seems a little strange, how about 'Boat harbor."  As it is an inlet cove protected from the elements, at least the open seas.  My brother Ted Haley took the photograph I used as a reference.  I started the painting as part of a work shop by Jan Burgland, a brilliant artist who specializes in direct painting methods.

That little whitish spot in the lower left is actually a scrap resulting from dropping the painting.  My heart sank but all is well and my wife said it looks like a fish so leave it...I'm not so sure and will fix said fish or just throw it back in the water.  I'll sign the painting sometime today and post it   on my Yessy.com/twohaleys account today.  Ted feels I should have copies made and sell them printed on canvas.  I'll have to wait a bit to do that kind of thing as it's still not dry enough to play with or better let someone else handle the painting.

The painting is on linen a 16X20 and will take a standard frame 3/4 in deep.
To purchase this one go to the Yessy site later in the week.

Have fun today,
Best regards,

Dave
