After the Storm

Oil on canvas 16x20

Everyone knows the story of a ship captain's worst nightmare: the "unsinkable" Titanic was sent to the bottom by a collision with a massive iceberg. But most ships lost at sea -- other than those involved in collisions with other ships -- fall prey to the equally savage forces of wind, waves, and water. Although rescue at sea is possible up to a point, the best hope of a ship in peril is its built-in capacity to ride out a vicious storm. It is then that man and metal are tested to their limits, with the lives of the crew and their ship hanging in the balance.
