Description
The International Plein Air Painters (IPAP) was a direct response to the tragedy of 911. Something positive and constructive needed to arise from those ashes. Art is really the universal language that transcends political boundaries and cultures in a creative way. The Kingston School of Art (KSOA) has been organizing Paint the Town in conjunction the International Plein Air Painters Worldwide Paint Out since 2013. They do a fantastic job of coordination and I have been painting with them since 2014 on this very special weekend.
This was the first morning of Paint the Town 2021. This sailboat was not going anywhere soon. I needed the sun on my back and I liked the colours when the sun was actually shining. Cumulus clouds developed as I painted so sometimes everything was in shadow. Some of these cumulus congestus would even produce a countable number of rain drops later in the day. I liked the painted yellow, parking lines in the pavement and thought it added an interesting geometry to the scene.
A lady exclaimed that the sailboat was not going anywhere soo so it was a good choice of subject matter. She had watched me working on the blue boat, #2538 "Portsmouth Harbour Blue Sailboat". A chap stopped by after voting in the federal election and wondered about the name. There is no word such as "wisper" and he wondered whether either the ship owner or sign painter could spell. "Whispers" means to "speak softly with little or no vibration of the vocal cords especially to avoid being overheard." This sailboat did not say a word the entire time that I worked on its portrait so I suspect it was indeed missing the "h".

Fabulous colors...wow! Love the brushwork and contrasting purples, blues and gold...really pops! Great compostion and lines, too. Great work, Phil Chadwick! L/F
Phil Chadwick replied:
Thanks Sunny. I was concentrating on the real colours that I saw rather that the colours that the brain was telling me to see. The blue and white boat was really composed of many different colours. So very kind of you!
