While Sailing
We cruised in our sail boat, Notre Voyage, for 3 years from New York City to the Caribbean. While sailing I created a series of paintings inspired by the sailing in the ocean.
At first I had difficulty to draw a straight line because of the boat movement. So I went just the opposite to allow the boat movement make the lines as we sailed along.
Letting the boat movement guide my hand greatly facilitated the embodiment of fractals into my paintings. Wind blows on the water and creates little waves that combine fractal like into bigger waves, The waves move the boat but the weight of the boat damps out the random motion and creates wonderful fractal lines.

Sailing 00
Acrylic on Canvas 40x30inch
The lines drawn in this painting inspired me of spirals so I created a fractal spiral to interact with the lines made by the boat movement and used color shapes in the lines to add to the fractal nature and create excitement.
Sailing 01
Acrylic on Canvas 40x30inch
This painting was created on a calm bright sunny day, the painting conjures up the image of a bright sunny sailing day moving along gentle seas. I also like the way the movement jumps out of the frame to create a feeling of wide open expansive space.
Sailing 10
Acrylic on Canvas 40x30inch
This painting conjures up the feeling of navigating between islands with the sand and sea. The sea waves are fractal and represented here as a geometric fractal.
