Sailing boar is about to departure to the Notherrn sea waters. I created this painting from life at the Noordwijk sea coast.The canvas is filled with an ethereal scene as the sun breaks through the clouds, casting shimmering beams of light upon the tranquil sea.
The sailing boat, with its billowing white sails, becomes the focal point of the painting, capturing the essence of freedom and adventure. The boat seems to floating above the sea sand, propelled by the gentle caress of the wind.
As the sun's rays pierce through the scattered clouds, they illuminate the scene with a warm, golden glow. The sunbeams create a magical interplay of light and shadow, casting a radiant path across the water. The sparkling reflections on the surface of the sea create a sense of movement and energy, as if the waves themselves are alive.
The surrounding atmosphere is one of serenity and tranquility. The vast expanse of the sea stretches to the horizon, merging seamlessly with the sky. The artwork makes us ti inspire the ever-changing colors of the water, from deep blues and greens to soft hues of turquoise and teal. It's as if you can almost feel the gentle rocking motion of the boat and hear the soothing sounds of the waves.

In the distance, a distant coastline or a cluster of islands adds a touch of mystery to the scene, inviting your imagination to wander and wonder about the destinations that lie beyond.
This painting evokes a sense of wanderlust and the allure of the open sea. It speaks to the dreamer within us, igniting a longing for exploration and the thrill of sailing into the unknown. It captures a fleeting moment of beauty, where nature and human craftsmanship intertwine, creating a harmonious symphony that resonates deep within our souls.
Whether you're an avid sailor, an admirer of maritime beauty, or simply someone who appreciates the power of art to transport you to different worlds, this painting of a sailing boat in the Northern Sea in sun beams will captivate your imagination and invite you to embark on your own personal voyage of discovery.
The painting is made after my journey to the North sea. I spotted a catamaran about to departure with people lovingly preparing their boat for sailing and I couldn't help capturing it.

I offer two variants of this painting. First I made from life. It is a small sketch 24 x 30 cm 9 x 12 inches.
Second I've made in studio it is 40 x 50 cm 16 x 20 "
