The sundrenched sky is solid and dense while the action and drama seem to have subsided for the day. You feel satiated but maybe you'll clean up and come back out for an afternoon cocktail as you tie the sheets to the cleats and settle into home port. It was a day well spent so far and tomorrow is another day!

He developed an exceptional ability to create figurative compositions as well as portraiture to significant acclaim under the tutelage of renowned portrait artist Everett...
