America's Cup 2020 and Memories of AC 2000

Well the racing yachts this time round are so very different to those in 2000, when I was fortunate to be employed at the Auckland viaduct in the Stars and Stripes base gallery.  A memorable time with invitation to the Louis Vuitton Ball at the newly decorated Civic theatre, meeting many AC sailors from many countries, a day out on the harbour watching the racing and the excitement of sending the boats off every morning and welcoming them back at night time.  These paintings were completed after I got home at night, often very late, and when the event had finished.  Several were sold to syndicates.
​I watch the races on TV this time round - an amazing spectacle of speed and sailing ability!

    "Colour is the influence of the soul: colour is a keyboard, the eyes are the hammers and the soul is the piano with many strings.  The artists the hand that plays, touching one key or another purpose fully, to create vibrations of the soul".

    Kandinsky
