When I first discovered the photo that inspired this painting, I immediately thought of my summer camp days singing, “Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore.” The only difference is that our camp was situated on a frigid lake in Quebec, not on any seashore.

Admittedly, I re-painted the boat from its first iteration, trying to get the dimensions and angle right. I also decided to paint it red instead of the aqua color of the original photo. I prefer it when the boat stands out, rather than look like it fades into the background of the sea blues. 

Anyone for a round of the song now? 😉
