This is lovely! After reading your description of your sailing adventures I feel that you have definitely obtained your objective.

A stunning piece, with a wonderful palette and an absolutely superb use of shapes, images and space.

A beautiful imaginative piece of work Wib! Love the colours and patterns you have created and also love the description of your voyages on the sailboat.

Thank you Sarah, Seok and Chandra for your encouraging comments - I appreciate all of them very much!
