Now that we've put the wind in your "sale", we have some other nautically themed pieces floating around to share with you.

First, Shelley Mitchell's latest body of work "Craft" is currently on until October 4th. Shelley has a way of translating water, something that is in a constant state of motion, onto a canvas in a way that still feels fresh and flowing.

Shelley Mitchell, Deep Blue, Oil on Canvas, 30"x40"

Shelley's ability to keep your eye moving is wonderful, and the depth of her colour and her compositional choices are exquisite!

From boats to buoys Shelley's work is calm, capturing reflections of fleeting light at dusk and dawn.

Shelley's not the only one who's inspired by Maritime dories. Artist Al Hattie uses unconventional reclaimed materials to create his pieces, including this dory...
