I wanted to work on a project relating to New England history. This painting is based on some historical prints of a "Nantucket Sleigh Ride" This is when a whale boat is dragged up to 23 miles an hour by a speared whale.I almost did this painting in black and white (pen and ink) but decided to add some color to it.

Carl, this is one of my favorites. Makes me recall those long days and moonless nights heaving in the thick air of rotting flesh and simmering blubber, that foul stench of death that sticks to a mans soul like a gnat to a bulls ass. But enough about our time as roomates.
True Spago true couldn't of said it better myself...
Except about the part when we were roomates....
