Description
I love painting Sail Boats, it become my favorite object to painting. This boat is my sister inlaw friend's boat. The name of the boat is Sea Star. That's a beautiful name of the boat. So I gave the title of this painting is "Sea Star".
Actually, in the real time of this scene was sunny day, but I had in my mind to paint with the sunset as a background in the process of painting.
For information, the type of this SailBoat is Ketch.
Ketches are similar to a sloop ( the most common sailboat is the sloop, which features one mast and two sails: a normal mainsail, and a headsail. This simple configuration is very efficient for sailing towards the wind. The mainsail is attached to the mast and the boom, which is a spar capable of swinging across the boat, depending on the direction of the wind. Depending on the size and design of the headsail it can be called a jib, Genoa, or spinnaker. When sailing directly downwind, a common configuration is to have the headsail sailed to one side of the boat, and the mainsail sailed to the other; this configuration is called "wing on wing".
The forestay is a line or cable near the top of the mast to a point near the bow. In Bermuda, where a rig design influenced by the Latin rig appeared on boats and came to be known as the Bermuda rig, a large spinnaker was carried on a spinnaker pole when running down-wind. An example of a typical sloop can be seen on the Islander 36).
But for Ketch, there is a second shorter mast astern of the mainmast, but forward of the rudder post. The second mast is called the mizzen mast and the sail is called the mizzen sail. A ketch can also be Cutter-rigged with two head sails.

Hi Melly...I decided to check out "Sold art" and it is easy to see why all of these have sold. Yep--you can do boats all day long for this viewer. The rendering of the water is marvelous and, of course, the boat and the landscapes are perfection. Well done.
