I have a love for art with ships, large sailing ships in the sea to be exact. It started with the two Chilean watercolors seen on either side below from my Dad and Uncle, more info here. Then it progressed when I found the middle painting several years ago in a Ponchatoula, LA and had no money to buy it. I was shopping with Patrick's Step-Mom who sensed my desire and gifted to us. All these years later I still LOVE it. I am so happy it did not end up on the "one that got away" list. I bought a fourth piece recently, I look for new pieces everywhere I go, and now I am thinking I need to change things up.
