Somehow the palette knife brings out the sailor in me. 

There is nothing more peaceful than a boat under sail with a light wind and blue sky.  Those moments are priceless, but all too few on the open sea. 

I've only raced once, and found the nearness of so many other boats racing across the surf to the same mark a bit unnerving. 

Still, sometimes  a little competiion brings out the best in us.

JoAnn, this is a very interesting piece. I love your palette. I used to teach palette knife, and it is not as easy as one might think!
