Skiff II

Here's another view of the same skiff - I love painting reflections.

Skiff on Mooring I

Skiffs are essential for lobstermen to get to and from their lobsterboats moored in the harbor.  They are notoriously neglected, left to bang against each other at the dock when not in use, and maintained only when absolutely necessary.  Most of them are home made out of plywood and liquid fiberglass.  Yet they can be some of the most picturesque and interesting boats around.  Last summer this one caught my attention (amazingly well kept), so I took a few photograps of it and decided to paint a couple of different views of the skiff.  Here is the first one.
