Steam Lighters and Ships



















Sea ships and cloudships in and over the Hooghly, Calcutta's harbor. This piece is closer to my natural style than the previous entry in this series. I set out to do a more airy painting then what this turned out to be, but I've come to like the thicker, clunkier paint style. The sky proved somewhat problematical, I was thinking of rain, or sun shining through a mist, but it seemed boring. This sky, though disordered at least implies motion.
