Galway Hooker

Original Watercolor & Casein, 20″ x 14″

In June 2017, on my first day in Ireland, I walked the small harbor of Spiddal on the West Coast. I was busy taking pictures of this beautiful, black wooden sailboat when a voice from behind me asked, “You know how old she is?” When I replied, “No,” he said that he was the proud owner and she was a 200 year old Galway Hooker, a boat of significant importance then and now to Irishmen.
