Description
�Seth F. Weaver, Sr. 04/25/13. 16x20" Acrylic, gouache, and sand on stretched canvas. The old boatman goes out at dawn to check his nets. If he's lucky he'll go back in and bring out a boat to haul in his catch. A lonely hard and solitary life that never ends. His family will find him one day in his boat adrift his life washed away like the changing tides. This work was originally inspired by a james Ensor painting but I didn't like his colors. So this is how it evolved with colorful Van Gogh colors. Thanks for looking, Seth.

Thank you Stephanie Zelaya for featuring my painting "the Lone Boatman" in Vivid Beautiful Art. I appreciate the honor and added exposure this gives my work.
Judith Killgore
Wow, he is in some rough water there! I love the strength and determination represented by his firm grip and the way he braces himself. This guy is an "Overcomer"! Is this a self-portrait?

Judith it is so nice to meet you on FAA. I appreciate this compliment and visit. No this is not a self-portrait thanks for that though.
