This morning I decided that I was going to alter an existing painting. All week I have looked at it and it has just bugged me. I decided that I didn't like my big red flag :( Here is what it looked
like as of 7 am this morning.
...And here is what it looks like now!

It is still referencing 'The Whalers' but it is less restrictive because...it just is. I think the painting needs to be about whaling and actually HAVE whales in it. That was what I didn't like. So I painted a few in.
Here it is shown next to my favorite ship scene that is located over my kitchen mantel. You can sort of get a sense for the size, which is about 11x13.
Here I show a few shots of the tips of the whales as they swim across and under the water. As I have said I have said in previous posts, whalers needed good eyesight. Have you ever gone on a whale watch and someone says, "There's one over there." You think, over where. You see nothing but water, exactly!

Another shot in my famous seashell room. I love this old black buffet which I inherited from my Great Aunt Nellie and painted black. SHE would hate that I did this. But doesn't it make my shells stand out and artwork pop?

Finally, here's a good closeup. Thanks for looking today.
Enjoy.
