Boats One of my favorite subjects. There's something dreamy about boats. They make me think about adventures, fun and faraway places - or sometimes just down the river. I think about the smell of fresh water and the breeze in my face. I like all the lines and little details that make up boats played against the softness of water. Some of the images here are from origininal photographs I took just down the road in the marina at Paris Landing State Park. They all have a painterly effect to them created from layers and layers of photo manipulation, textures, etc. Scroll down the page to see more boats. I hope you enjoy the tour. Purchasing information is at the bottom of the page. | 
The Enola at Paris Landing The Enola was parked in the visitor section of the marina for most of the summer of 2006. It caught at lot of attention. A beautiful boat! |

I like this boat so much I did it three different ways. Still can't decide which I like best.
This little dinghy is the only boat actually owned by the marina at Paris Landing State Park. It's always tied up in front of the marina.
