It’s early in the sailing season, the harbor’s foggy and the crisp cool morning air fills your lungs to begin your day on the water.

 

I removed portions of thin layers of recycled paint to reveal the textures of the thinker layers beneath to give this piece an aged look. Cables and nylon rope that were reclaimed from the sail the piece is painted on, are used for the hanging mechanism. With a series of sailing knots being used, the height that paintings hung at can be adjusted by sliding the knots on the nylon rope.
