I painted this for my Dad many years ago. He was a direct descendant of Miles Standish, the soldier that sailed with the pilgrims on their voyage and protected them after their arrival in the new world. I thought about their brave journey across the ocean on the tiny ship. Sailing in a wooden ship for 66 days through storms and treacherous seas to an unknown land. The passage was miserable, with huge waves constantly crashing against the ship's topside deck. Although I am not offering the painting for sale, Art Prints are available through my site at Fine Art America CLICK HERE
