Day 246 "Ready the Fleet" 6 x 9 ink and watercolor

 This morning I spent a little time up by the Hingham yacht club watching teens preparing their fleet of boats for sailing.  It was a very calm morning, and the boats look like fish out of water laid out on the dock.  Behind them, a couple of boats moved slowly out of the harbor in the almost windless morning.  The boats are so graceful in the water, and so ungainly lined up on the dry dock.  I liked the sense of pending action.  By the way, that's always what I found funniest about the Far Side cartoons... something was often about to happen. Action pending... Here's an example:

And, here's a photo on site this morning.  What a nice way to begin my day.

 

"Morning Harbor" watercolor & ink 4 x 6

My mornings have me swinging by Hingham's Harbor this week; so much going on while so peaceful.  The Lincoln Maritime Center in full swing, an exercise class rocking away on the lawn behind the Victory statue, kayakers, dog walkers, joggers, and bikes.. We are having a beautiful summer.

Thanks for looking.
