"Duckboat Downwind Run"














6"x8" Oil on Canvas Panel
Duckboats and Sneakboxes were vintage wooden boats used
for duck hunting on Barnegat Bay.  This was from a
photo taken during last summer's Duckboat Worlds Regatta.
Thank you Russ Manheimer for letting me use your
photographs as reference for this painting.

I'm planning to do a larger painting for possible submission to
the Tuckerton Seaport Annual Art Show coming up in April..

  6. Lori, great job on this piece. Love the shading on the sails and you caught the action beautifully. Also, thank you for your sympathy message on my blog. I was so moved by all the messages left when I got home. Now Dad rests with my Mom in Orlando.
