I was doing a range of work where I was using lots of panels for part of the piece. I decided to do a boat after doing the bicycle boat and this developed as I went along. I like the idea of sailing although I have never really done it and I have created my boat in a particularly whimsical form. As to my characters� well they are just part of the story�This piece went to the Warragul rotary art show .and the title was suggested by a Randy Newman song that I really enjoyed when I was younger.
