Dictionary definition #2 for the word"reveille" is "The first assembly of the day." That is what I thought of when I looked at these sailboats lined up at the break of dawn. This is the 4th in a series of paintings that I've done depicting the marinas at St Petersburg, Fl just after, or during sunrise. I think there are more to come.

I find sailboats inspiring. This one was painted with brushes & palette knives. The technique lends itself to creating effects of ripples in the water and a few puffy clouds against an otherwise clear blue sky.
