Sarasota Boat Yard
About this artwork
Dry docked sailboats line a dirt road in a Sarasota boat yard. A stunning sunset elevates the scene, bathing the ships' hulls in pink light and granting them a certain nobility. Part of Fernando's signature series of nautical scenes capturing the watercraft, wildlife and landscape of his native Florida. He regularly travels, making sketches, taking notes and shooting photographs to later reference in his studio. The result is detailed, intimate paintings that radiate the stunning light and tropical breezes of the Sunshine State.
