Smith Island

Here is a nice little watercolor that I just finished while waiting for Hurricane Irene. This is from a photo by a photographer friend who knows how much I love old docks and old wooden boats. It was somewhere near Wanchese in the 50's as you can see Bodie Island Light in the background. In the old days, fishing boats were many different colors, essentially whatever color was laying around. This one is a nice carribbean blue. Don't know what it really was because the photo was black and white. According to my calculations, after looking at an old map, this might have been Smith Island. Not sure, but it sounds good. 8 x 5 matted to 12 x 9, framed, $125. The original is signed in the right hand corner.
