CRS Rebecca Painting

Painting with acrylic and print on canvas. It is painted on canvas with an aluminum frame. I have always greatly enjoyed being on boats. In fact, during my entire childhood, both with my grandparents as well as my father and mother, I regularly spent weekends and long holidays out on the water. I still take several sailing trips each year. For example to the ports of Rotterdam, Amsterdam, or Antwerpen. At such huge docks, my eyes often ''lock'' on these gigantic industrial tankers. I see the beauty of these impressive cargo-carrying vessels. I try to render these tons-of-steel ocean liners very ''sec'' - as they actually are - simply to reveal their unadorned, messy, yet streamlined-and-functional elegance. The painting comes without a frame. I always paint the sides of the work, so that the scene carries over to the edges. This way there is the option of not framing. I also wire my paintings. Thus, the work is totally finished and ready to hang.
