This was the second of three paintings I did of this little sunken sail boat. I set up my easel on the beach of the Banana River in a little cove near the Canaveral Lock. I found a nice little out of the way spot between some mangrove trees. It took me several days to paint this. It was a peaceful time. As I concentrated on my work, fishermen waded out into the water to seine bait fish. This gave me the idea to wade out in the knee deep water from time to time to better study up close the details of the boat. It also was a nice way to cool off.
One day, the master of the Lock a few hundred yards away, asked to see my painting. He gasped in horror as I told him that I had been wading out to the boat. He told me that was the home of Big Bertha. He further explained that I had been sitting in her nesting site. Big Bertha is the largest alligator that he has ever seen. She sometimes swims through the Lock. She hung out in and around the boat. The very same spot I had m...
Although born in upstate New York, I grew up mostly in Nevada and California. The fabulous panoramic views of the far west inspired me to begin painting and photographing it’s beauty. I’ve lived in various areas in the states and in Europe but always had the desire to express through painting and photography.

What a beautiful painting, AnnaJo! Abandoned boats are so frequent in Florida and as a boater I always wonder about their story. I loved reading about Big Bertha and the efforts you put into this beautiful work of art!

Richard Barone
Great point of view looking inland (west). At first I thought it was like most pictures looking out to sea. I'm glad you didn't meet up with Big Bertha. Your choice of colors is very natural. Abandoned boats are an eyesore, but here the sailboat seems to be going fishing in the cove.
AnnaJo Vahle replied:
Thanks ever so much, Richard. Yes, it was kinda nice to have a land mass between the water and the sky. I liked having the bridge there. I, too, am pleased that I didn't have any problems with Big Bertha.
ANA MARIA EDULESCU
