The Great Provincetown Schooner Regatta

Friday was "The Great Provincetown Schooner Regatta Race. The Schooner race celebrates Provincetown maritime history.
For the past 10 years Castle Hill Truro Center for the Arts, hosts paint the race, for which I was invited to attend and paint.
Getting on the boat with  your easel and paints is challenging not to mention painting the actual race from a moving boat.
I always bring small boards and try and paint the boats quickly and then paint the background, so I'm not painting too much from memory.
It's lots of fun and some interesting artist's attend.
The whole event is three hours and they served lunch. It's more fun for me than I think I actually finish a painting on a moving boat.
