Sailing to Anguilla was a great day. When we signed up for the trip, we did not realize it was such a booze crews (but apparently they all are). The rum started early (learned about a variant of a Dirty Shirley made with rum) and kept flowing all day. But that was not the highlight of the day. For me, painting while sailing (see below) was the true highlight (that and the after party).
Below is the picture of the catamaran I did after a lovely lunch of mahi mahi, jerk ribs, curried coleslaw and rice. It is my favorite piece of the whole trip. In fact, it might be my favorite piece I have done in the past year (this or the old stone bridge).
Watercolor and pen & ink on paper 5.5x8.25
Below is a series of three small (postcard size) pictures I did while sailing to Prickly Pear and Anguilla. Despite all the rum, not many people were talkative. However, after I pulled out my watercolors and began sketching that all changed. It was a fun conversation starters. These three sketches are rough and loose and just plain fun.
