The working boats of Hampton Roads..

I’ve always had a fascination with the working boats we see daily in the mouth of the York and the James rivers. These men and women work as hard s their boats. I have wanted many times to do a painting around them. But they are so “done” here in the Mid- Atlantic, like Geese or Herons, that I hesitate to add to the problem.  I found this study sketch I did a few years ago in an old sketch book last night while cleaning up in the studio. Maybe I’ll paint one someday after all.
