Today was the closing day of the booksop where I work with my hubby @paolobeneforti and my friend Elena (the owner of that local booshop) and so I spent all the day working at home. In the morning I use my crochet to make some coasters for an old customer and in the afternoon I worked on a new artwork.
It's an hot summer here and even if my city is not so far from the sea (just about an hour), this year I haven't gone to the sea yet. Because of this and because of the hot weather, I have a lot of sea thoughts and images in my mind. Fortunately I can paint about it. ^_^
It's an oil painting on 200 gsm paper in A4 size and I just added it to my online shops (you can find the link at the bottom of this content).
This is not the first sailor I painted (I sold the first one some months ago), but I like so much to paint marine subject full of stripes. ^_^
In the following pics you can see a couple of steps during the process:

I hope you like it!
See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia
