Original artwork 20"x 16" Oil on canvas 3/4" deep edges "Courage" is a representation of the struggle between man and nature, nature's desires to judge and control, and man's attem pts to defy and create. I've always been drawn to the power of the ocean, and the romantic adventure of traveling the vast seascape. I see it as a great frontier that cannot be tamed, only fought and braved.

Without these beacons, sailors would be lost and subject to rough weather and unforgiving obstacles, embodiments of resilience. Painting ships with a frame. Show more
