Here is a before and after of Gathering of Sail – sized 40×60 inch. Never did like the first version of the painting. I always felt it lacked life and although the picture was colorful, it did not use color successfully.

I put it away and then repainted it later. Now I feel Gathering of Sails exciting. The colors convey an emotion and I think I will keep it!
