Sailing Onwards 1

Using a simple palette of mid-denim washed blue and white with gold leaf, a sailing regatta comes to life with churning sea and white caps. The gold leaf shapes the sailing boats, catching the sun. The gold changes in the lighting conditions - and will reflect light making it a changeable element between day and night.

Sailing Onwards 1 and 2 are purchasable separately - they have a combined length of over 4.2m with a gap.

This is part of the Nautical Blue series - there are other artworks in different shades of blues.
