Sailboats

Sailboats. There is something beautiful and calm about them. I started collecting photos/paintings/prints of them about a year ago. Today when I was scrolling through Etsy.com (see blog below), I stumbled upon this fabulous artist that combines an original photograph that is then digitally mixed with painting. "Labokoff" is from Paris, France and the hauntingly beautiful prints Labokoff offers are breathtaking. Here is the sailboat as well as a few other favorites of mine:

"La Mer"





The prints range from $52 12x12, $26 8.5x8.5, or 6x6 for $15.

I was looking for sailboat quotes and came across this funny quote from one of my favorite musicians, Nina Simone: 

"I would like a man now who is rich, and who can give me a boat-a sailboat. I want to own it and let him pay for it. My first love is the sea and water, not music. Music is second."
