The Petaluma Boat


I love boats.

This boat I found at the Turning Basin in Petaluma, CA– my previous home base.

The boat was actually in much better shape than I portray it here, but I enjoy painting rust stains in watercolors. I think it gives the vessel a lived-in, working boat look instead of somebody's mini-yacht.

The water isn't an illusion... it really was that still that day– not a single ripple.
