Portfolio > woodcuts, Nantucket images

Every August, there is the "Opera Cup" race. Vintage wooden sailboats, of the "America's Cup" style congregate in Nantucket harbor to race to Martha's Vineyard and back to ACK. It's a beautiful site, all of these vintage racing sailboats in the harbor. I tried for years to do a woodcut from the many photos I've taken of the scene, but it never worked out. So one day, I just took a piece of wood down to the docks and drew it "en plein air" with pencil and then a "Sharpie", so my decisions on the spot would be final.
