Vema III Painting

I went to Newport one sunny day in July 2019 with the sole purpose of taking photos of sailboats so I could paint them later. But when I got to Fort Adams, the entire harbor was empty! After several disappointed minutes of taking pictures of a sailboat-less ocean, I turned around and suddenly saw a lone, majestic, white sail by the Claiborne Pell bridge. Happy to have finally seen a sailboat, I immediately started taking a zillion of photos and decided I was going to make a painting of it. As it sailed closer, I thought the flag on the back looked kind of like the Norwegian flag, but was unsure. When the boat docked, I talked to the crew and found out that the boat was actually a historic 12-metre called Vema III and had come to Newport for an upcoming regatta. I was also shocked to find out that the boat came from Oslo, but I think the crew was even more shocked to meet some random American with a Red Sox hat who suddenly spoke to them in Norwegian. Jeg dro til Newport en solig dag i juli 2019 med bare ett mål: ta bilder av seilbåter så jeg kunne male dem senere. Men da jeg ankommet Fort Adams, var hele havnen tom! Helt skuffet, tok jeg bilder av havnen likevel, og etter flere minutter, snudde jeg og plutselig så et enslig, majestetisk hvitt seil under Newports broen. Jeg ble glad for at jeg hadde sett en seilbåt endelig og begynte å ta tusenvis bilder etter jeg bestemte meg for å lage et maleri av den båten. Mens båten nærmet seg, la jeg merke til flagget og ble forvirret, fordi det lignet det norske flagget, men var usikker. Etter båten la til bryggen, snakket jeg med mannskapet og oppdaget at båten var en historisk 12-mr som het Vema III og var i byen for å delta på en kommende regatta. Jeg var også helt sjokkert å finne ut at båten kom fra Oslo, men jeg tror at mannskapet var mer sjokkert da en tilfeldig amerikaner med en Red Sox caps på seg snakket plutselig med dem på norsk.
