I pass by this boat in the Port Angeles boatyard often when driving out to Ediz Hook for bird photography. And while I’ve photographed it several times I always saw it as a black and white image.
My opinion changed only after a trip to Cape Verde, off the coast of Africa last year where colorful boats sat perched by the shoreline and served not only to transport fish but to make a statement about the abundant creativity of the island’s residents.
And so I now see this one as an opportunity to get out the crayons so to speak and to get creative! I hope you enjoy the results as much as I do.
Very creative
Thanks, Colleen, and fun!
It is a creative clashy cool look that differs from our normal concept of everything matching perfectly. It’s also a good way to use up bits of old paint instead of trashing it. I’ve been known to do that!
Clashy cool is a great description! I was having fun with my digital paintbox though, so not a drop was spilled, and there were no brushes to clean. However, I did enjoy painting in the traditional sense “back in the day” and still miss it at times. Glad to hear you’re a fan of it too, Tom.
