I recently found this web site for sailing art. This guy has many pics that are available in hi resolution and you can put use as wallpaper on you pc. I change them every couple of weeks. It was funny that his bio states he lived on his 48’ Hatteras. So since many of you cant sail now, I thought you might enjoy these photos.

On our Honeymoon, Herself and I ran into an artist who specializes in boat paintings. He was a really cool guy. Turns out that if you send him a photo of your family and your boat to use as a template he will do a commissioned one-off for you and his prices were quite reasonable. I was impressed. Even more so when the next month I saw one of his paintings on the cover of GAM on Yachting (a local magazine), and then saw him in a Toronto gallery.

I'll have to try to remember his name now...

I am an odd duck, I do not care for wooden ships, old boats or Northeastern marine art. Give my a photo of a high tech boat anytime, that is beauty to me.

You are, Frank... You are.

Here's another site for everyone else... http://www.artofthesea.com/index.html

And another one--a friend of mine... He does commission work but you could buy a small fleet of C-25s for one of his commissions. http://www.arguimbau.net/gallery.php
