Recently I re-connected with an old friend, marine artist David Barker, as he visited Waiheke on his launch “Feather”.
I talked of the vision of “Kate” as she will be, outward bound under full sail with a bunch of trainees aboard, and he agreed to do a painting encapsulating the dream.
I have long admired his talent for depicting boats and the sea, for giving an almost magical touch to a beautiful seascape, and I’m excited to be able to share this with you.
You are invited to subscribe to a strictly limited edition of 100 numbered, signed prints suitable for framing.
$225.00 each.
When all subscriptions are sold, a draw of one number will win the original framed oil painting, generously donated by David.
This fund is to be spent exclusively on the restoration of the ‘Kate’ for youth sail training on Waiheke Island.
For an informative card with details for payment, a ticket for the draw and for delivery of the print, please email your postal address to info@waihekeworkingsail.org.
Thanks,
Bernard.
