A WATERCOLOR FROM 40 YEARS AGO

Monday, February 2nd, 2015

When I need a subject for a new painting I summon them up from my distant past. In 1975 I sailed my brand new FRANCES to the Newport Boat Show where Tom Morris and I showed her off- and sold a few for him to build. On the way back I got caught outside and ran the breaking bar of the Merrimac River into Newburyport. This painting is the result. For more of my recent paintings click here: www.painefineart.com

Welcome

ChuckPaine.com LLC is a new company which will focus upon putting small, very seaworthy sailboats into the hands of the next generation of nautical adventurers. We will emphasize small to midsize yachts because they enable aspiring voyagers to get out there before their geriatric years. Unlike my old company, now closed, we will leave motoryacht design to others—the world does not need more ways to use up its precious one-off gift of liquid energy. Corporations are not all faceless automatons running on autopilot. At least the small ones are steered, influenced, perhaps inspired by their leaders. Hence this Blog, in which Chuck Paine blurts out his personal take on subjects as varied as his yacht designs as works of art, his clients, his other life as an oil painter, and the state of the world in general. Don’t forget this is a blog, and it’s a lot more fun for others to read when people who read it (THIS MEANS YOU!) post your comments- positive or scathing- for all the world to see.
