The current theme is 'Ship' and here's my interpretation based on a photo I saw on Google. I hope I haven't violated any copyright. When I investigated the photo further, it seems there is a story tied to this ship called the 'ARA Libertad'. It seems this Argentinian navy training ship was detained in Ghana by creditors 'seeking to collect on defaulted Argentine bonds'. That would be 4.5 billion in defaulted bonds. At the time of this story (Oct 19, 2012) there were 320 crew on board the ship, high adventure!
Anyway, back to my painting. It's done in acrylic on acid free 1 pound quality card stock (6" x 6").
I was very pleased with this batch of card stock I recently purchased and chose a darker blue coloured one for this piece. You can see that blue representing the 'sea' in the painting.

Your painting is lovely Christine, you chose the subject well. I like your batch of card stock, I always find a supply of them is so exciting to get my hands on, thinking what can I use first!
Card stocks are great and convenient to use. I like your ship.
I love this! It makes me want to roam the high seas :)
What an interesting story to go with your illustration. That card stock is really nice, and made for a special look and texture on your ship. Adventures on the High Sea...good book title.
Christine, I just went back and read the story and saw the ship you used as your subject. Wow, you really captured it perfectly and that was an interesting read. Good job.
nice ship
That is lovely!
What a lovely ship!
Every time I see your lovely creativity, I feel guilty I haven't tried to do more with the paint set I bought.
wow, I really like this ship! it's spectacular
That's a clever use of the card stock colour, Christine adn a charming rendition too, let alone wild story. There's something very serene and clean about your painting--far better than the photo, and no, you won't be in any trouble as you took lots of artistic liberty with it and made it your own. Great job, as always, Christine. Thank you so much for playing along. I hope between SS and CT you use up all those cards! :)
