Bowsprit ~ Happy 4th of July



18 x 24 inches Oil on canvas (in process)

I had painted this bowsprit plein air, with a different
background. It was too bland for the ship,
so I made up the dramatic sky to compliment
the shape of the bowsprit.

The ropes need some more deltail and highlight.
The horizon line is uneven too..yikes.

bow·sprit (bousprt, b-)
n. Nautical
A spar, extending forward from the stem of a ship,
to which the stays of the foremast are fastened.
