Our source of inspiration is none other than Claude Monet, the master of impressionism. Monet loved painting water as well as the yachts and boats on the sea and rivers. He was inspired by Turner as well and visited England to paint there too. Yachts are Complicated Subjects Well that's true if you are learning to sail them, but we are only going to paint them.
