Getting Nautical

I was going through some files and came across this piece that I completely forgot about. It is a detail of a larger piece which I will have to look for. Back in 2009 we spent a week at Barnegat Light on Long Beach Island, NJ and I knocked out a fair amount of watercolors.
There is a purity to watercolor which really excites me. It can be a scary medium, overworked easily
and can turn into mud if overworked.
I truly love nautical subject matter. I think I'll pack up my brushes and watercolors and head out this afternoon. It's a tad hotter than I like but maybe I can find a shady spot and get some painting in.
