L'échouage

Inspired by the traditional yacht regatta taking place every summer on the island of Noirmoutier (régates du Bois de la Chaize). Organised by a tiny non profit association (La Chaloupe) for decades.
They select a painter every year for the regatta poster. Sales of that poster are a key source of funding. And each edition of this poster are expected on the island. Many of those were part of my early painting inspirations.
I was proud to be selected for the 30th edition. I decided to give the painting to the association. Profit of that sale will help them restore an old traditional wooden boat they use to initiate kids to the fun of sailing.
