Original artwork description:

Fanciful holiday scene in oil on gallery-wrap canvas with a composition of sailboats, a rising or setting sun, pure relaxation, hence the title. The palette says "islands."

Happy little sailboats, in waterways, on lakes, or out in the ocean, invite human cares to evaporate at least temporarily. I love to watch them! I have limited sailing experience but enough to realize that to idealize the experience is to diminish it--sailing is glorious, but it is also work! That aspect is purposefully ignored in this visual invitation to relax and rejuvenate.

Materials used:

Oil paint, brush, palette knife
