Small Boats at Portofino

This is a small fishing village in Italy.  I have been there twice now and the only way you can get there is by boat.  Ours was a ferry not one of these fishing boats!  There is something so soothing watching the water,  wondering about all the stories these boats could tell.  
I love the water and I never have painted boats before so I thought I would give it a try.  It's a small painting but I do think I captured the sense of peacefulness I felt at the time.
