Sailboat watercolor print | New England sailing painting | I am not afraid of storms

This hand-painted sailboat evokes the timeless beauty and spirit of the New England coast—a place where my father grew up sailing. The sailboat depicted in this painting was once part of his family’s legacy, embodying adventure, freedom, and the enduring love for the sea.

This piece honors both the sailboat itself and the quiet strength that comes from a life spent on the water.

For those who love this piece, consider pairing it with a painting featuring a quote from Little Women:
"I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship."
Together, these two paintings tell a story of courage, perseverance, and the beauty of life’s journey—both on the water and beyond. [You can find the link here soon.]

This piece is painted by hand using watercolor paint on cold press paper. Then, the painting is scanned using a high resolution scanner and digitally formatted for printing. This print you will receive is reproduced from an original watercolor painting: Sailing in New England, 2019.
