“Calm Morning” (Port Townsend, WA, USA)

18” x 24” | Oil on board

A few years ago, after participating in the Classic Boat Festival in Victoria with our historic wooden boat, we decided to visit the Wooden Boat Festival in Port Townsend.   We found the excitement of being surrounded by other wooden boats and wooden boat owners to be very stimulating and encouraging.  This painting depicts the scene early one morning before all the guests had arrived and shows the harbour where the non participants, but still mostly wood, anchored.
