This triptych was inspired by a sailing trip I took in March 2019 to the British Virgin Islands, aboard a Windstar clipper ship; a motor sailer called “The Windsurf”.

One morning, as I strolled the upper deck, I was amazed at the panoramic view of the water, sky and surrounding islands, and wanted to paint that vast, encompassing view of the water close-up, with the islands and beaches in the distance.

When I got home, I started painting the exquisite clear blue waters of the Caribbean, and finally, a few years later, created this triptych. I decided to paint it in three panels rather than as one giant canvas. Each panel is a 36 × 24″ × 2″ canvas, back-wrapped, before framing.

The triptych can be hung together with no space or with each painting slightly spaced about 1″ apart. There is a simple, whitewashed driftwood frame on each piece, and it is currently wired so that each piece can hang independently as well as being wired as one large unit.
