It’s funny how things happen and turn out.  This is a smaller size canvas that had an ugly color painted on it, so I painted over it a lilac color (acrylic).  Then I saw a photograph of a sail boat and I just let the paint brush do its thing.  I always listen to music when creating, and the words to an old Van Morrison song just seemed to fit with this sail boat.  Music, art, and text just seem to marry themselves together.  Although the brush was in my hand, I was just along for the ride.
