Spinnakers
by Johny Midnight
Two large sailboats with vivid coloured spinnakers bear down from the foreground as a whole fleet disappears toward the horizon. A choppy, energetic racing scene painted on a dramatic grey and turquoise day.

Artwork Description
Two boats dominate the foreground of this seascape, their spinnakers - one yellow-gold and blue, the other red and white - filling the canvas with colour and movement. Behind them, a fleet of smaller vessels diminishes toward the horizon, creating a strong sense of depth and competitive energy. The ocean is painted in Johny's characteristic palette of Prussian blue, turquoise and white foam. The sky is broad and atmospheric, grey-white with strong flashes of turquoise. You are positioned directly in the boats' path, on a choppy open ocean day.

Artist's Insight
I wanted to give the impression of the boats coming straight at you - those spinnakers just bearing down from above. Two large boats up front and behind them, a whole fleet stretching back. The sea is rough, with the Prussian blues and turquoise and the white horses I keep coming back to. The sky was about that dramatic grey-white light you get before the weather changes. It's a choppy day on the water, and you feel it.
