Original watercolor painting of the schooner "Brilliant" in 1995 under full sail off the coast of Maine. I purchased the work in 1999 / 2000 from Joan P. Woodhull the owner of the "Art of the Sea" gallery in South Thomaston. As I recall, she described the artist as a physician from the Midwest (perhaps Chicago) known for his maritime art works. The painting is signed and dated.

Description
Watercolor on paper in excellent condition by the artist whose signature is hard to discern. The 1932 vessel "Brilliant" has a highly valued provenance and is now moored at the Mystic Seaport Museum in Mystic, Connecticut where the schooner serves as an offshore sailing classroom. WoodenBoat Magazine describes the Brilliant as “one of the best maintained and sailed classic yachts in the country, if not the world." The watercolor is indeed "brilliant", and it bears the signature of the artist and year he painted it. I would like to identify the artist and determine the estimated value of the work as a potential item for consignment.
