"The Vision" Poulsbo marina, boat painting

I'm not advocating this for anyone else, but if you hang out by the gate at private marinas....and look harmless enough....some kind soul with a key to the gate will usually let you in....which is how I found this old relic, begging to be immortalized on canvas.

Your marina strategy should work... as a former boat owners, we were always proud of the beauty of the marina and felt a lift in our spirits as we walked out onto the docks. You've captured that nicely here -- the beauty even in a "working" marina and the charm of the old "Vision" waiting to be loved again.

Are you saying that you make opportunity, knocking...?

I'm glad you did. You've captured such an interesting image. I "feel" the light and warmth.
