While Sailing Paintings
We cruised in our sail boat, Notre Voyage, for 3 years from New York City to the Caribbean. While sailing I created a series of paintings inspired by the sailing in the ocean.
At first I had difficulty to draw a straight line because of the boat movement. So I went just the opposite to allow the boat movement make the lines as we sailed along.

Sailing!
The lines drawn in this painting inspired me of spirals so I created a fractal spiral to interact with the lines made by the boat movement and used color shapes in the lines to add to the fractal nature and create excitement.

The undulation lines are from the boat movement. The ocean surface waves are fractals. I work in the boat's cockpit and place the pen on paper and allow the movements to draw the lines.
This painting was created on a calm bright sunny day, the painting conjures up the image of a bright sunny sailing day moving along gentle seas. I also like the way the movement jumps out of the frame to create a feeling of wide open expansive space.

The elements of fractals create the mathematical harmony of the universe and nature. The basic geometrical shapes and elements are integrated with boat movement. The Sierpinski triangles are fundamental fractal theory.

The blue water sailing movements are regular and repetitious. The wave of water and wind create the harmony of sailing that captivates sailors. This painting is an impression of the soft rolling of the boat surrounded by the excitement of the Caribbean beaches and clear water.

The movement is from the sailboat while sailing through the water. The undulated form of the movement created the Geometric fields that are contrasted with the hard lines.

The geometry is cut be the undulating boat movement line. The contrast between the hard lines and the curved lines creates a harmonious scene.

This painting is just an effervescent feeling of life. The lines are fractal produced by the waves. The colour and balls are just......fun!

Sailing 10
This painting conjures up the feeling of navigating between islands with the sand and sea. The sea waves are fractal and represented here as a geometric fractal.

This painting is inspired by the Caribbean sun and islands. Think of the song “Oh Island in the sun”. A safe oasis surrounded by the threatening fractal storm.

Sailing 12
This painting is the chaos of the waves and weather moving the boat, with islands nearby. The curved fractals of the boat movement is set against the harsh rectangular fractal of the weather.
