Boar Repairs

It is always fun to go down to the West Sayville Boat Dock because there is always something going on. Today there were several people doing repairs/maintenance on big boats.
I picked Captain Al and the worker was busy sanding or drilling something. I could hear the noise but not quite see what was going on.
This was done in my Stillman & Birn Alpha Journal and is about 6 x 6.

  1. Nice Joan, this scene could easily have been captured in my own street as I live within meters of a boat yard

  2. What an awesome painting of an interesting boat. I've always had a not-so-secret dream of living on a boat and this one looks perfect!
