An afternoon on the waters is one of peace, silence, and beauty as a lone sailboat wends its way through the waters of the Puget Sound, near Seattle in Washington State.

The autumn colors are out and the trees are in full blaze of orange, rust, red, burgundy, and gold, adding to the beauty of the sailing through the sound. It is quiet on the boat, the major activity on the water that of the state ferries that regularly pass through this channel, on their way to the islands of Puget Sound, and back to the docks of Seattle.

Lights from the island homes are just beginning to turn on, as late afternoon segues into evening’s twilight, and the sailor knows that it will be time soon to head to harbor and dock for the night. But there is no hurry – there is time to simply glide through the water and listen to the gentle lapping of the waves against the boat, the occasional sound of the gull overhead, the veriest sound as the wind flaps through the sails.

Bainbridge Is...

I am a fine art painter who creates representational images celebrating light, life, and color. A commercial illustrator for more than 20 years, I have been painting for most of my life, and in the last 18 years have focused exclusively on fine art. I celebrate images that invite the viewer to step into the artwork and experience a sense of joy, peace, freedom, encouragement, meditation, and thought. There's a lot of angry art out there, as well as a lot of shallow pop. I choose to use the abilities and experience I have to promote beauty and goodness.
