The Future of Sailing Is Female

Our youngest daughter will be attending and sailing for the US Coast Guard Academy this June.  She has worked incredibly hard for this and I couldn't be prouder!  Sailing is her passion and her joy.  I used a photo I took in San Diego 2 years ago at the National Women's High School Regatta. She and her teammates had the time of their lives there (and so did I!!).  
I tried focusing on the feeling of bright California sunshine and perfect wind.  I actually tried painting this a year or so ago and couldn't make it work to my satisfaction.  It's always a good feeling to see myself progress and get better!
