This painting is designed from photos I took while I was at sea with the U.S. Coast Guard crew on the cutter Stone. I was on the bridge and it put a smile on my face to see some of the crew listening to an officer in charge of the small boats, amongst other things on the ship. The dry erase markers came out, and suddenly the bridge was a classroom, complete with a wipe board. That's not something I expected to see. Right away, I knew I would paint it.
