A truly unique (and beautiful!) head on a production boat

A non-essential boat project is complete and I LOVE IT!

Katreina has always been artistic and began painting last year. Her creations are so lovely and as she prepared to leave for a school year abroad, we decided that we really wanted her to leave her mark on our home. We decided that the door to the aft head would be her canvas and she was allowed to paint whatever she wanted. She went through a few solid ideas and sketches before settling on her final design and spent so many hours (~50!!!) working on it. Was she inspired by the pillows we made? Or the sea life that has surrounded our boat the past few months? Whatever the inspiration, the result is amazing!
The Artist and her finished piece!

So much detail in the tentacles.

Her signature, complete with "ily" and a fingerprint heart. 💙

From design to finish, she spent over 50 hours on this piece. 

We will finish this with a few coats of Minwax Polycrylic so that the painting isn’t damaged when folks shower. I am so happy to have this piece of art as part of our home!
