Regularly I want to paint seascapes, but of late the inspiration is tainted by the tumultuous world we live in. Going back in time, there were other pressures of life as seen in the painting where a ship have to leave a harbor regardless of the weather if they wanted to have food on the table for their families back home. Time was of the essence in order to get the best price for their merchandise, If your ship came in later your cargo could be worth much less. This period was the mid 1800's and the vessels were constantly upgraded to go faster, competing with the other seafaring nations. It's a big painting that will dominate the room, and its dramatic picture will draw much attention. Children in particular are fascinated with the theme. If you like this one could you please leave a 'like' or share it on your face-book? Thank you.
