Artist Notes
This image has been painting exclusively with Photoshop. It shows a sailing vessel entering the outer harbor after long days asea, the crew furling the sails as they pass by the lighthouse. The lighthouse tender is welcoming the crew back to the safe harbor as sun is setting just below the horizon. The rays of light emanating from the setting sun seems to be a spiritual welcoming that the ship and crew have returned home, anxious to meet their families once again.
The most challenge on this painting was the water. It is so difficult to digitally achieve convincing water. The skies have become easier, still very complex with many layers but the technique is fairly straightforward. The ship was difficult, many small shapes to render that makes up the entirety of it. The lighthouse was the easiest but still took about 22 hours. All together, 97 hours. The finished size is 34x52 inches.
