Description More on the painting Tempest. The, skippered and maintained her for well over two decades, and we had been friends for some years. I was quite familiar with this from the revolutionary period – all 80 tons and 165 feet of her.

The course around the outside of Long Island provided favorable winds allowing me to make sketches and also work alongside the crew. On the afternoon of July 3 rd, we turned into lower New York bay and then under the. We still had two of our largest sails upthe main top and the fore top.
When it was time to gather them up for a tight harbor furl, I chose the foremast. I climbed aloft and out on the starboard side of the yard arm with nine others tending the same sail. As we fisted the heavy sail, we noticed the wind suddenly pick up. We turned our heads to see an ominous squall line beginning to overtake us. The winds howled and the Rose heeled to starboard as rain turned to hail. Lightening began striking the water all around us some 80 feet below. We had to keep pulling and tying down, yelling at each other to be heard over the screaming of the rigging.
We looked at each other with both terror and awe as the sky turned black and the ship yielded to the forces of nature. As suddenly as the tempest came upon us, it left us. The sky changed to purple, then to green and then cleared completely. I am fortunate to have witnessed such a beautiful experience. The feelings of stillness of mind and surrender helped inspire the painting.
