Description
Giclée reproduction of “Schooner Kelpie” from the original oil painting by artist Scott Kennedy in 2000.
About this schooner
She was built in 1928 for a New York stockbroker on the eve of the Great Depression.
Years later, George Minney and his family owned the majestic schooner. Built of longleaf yellow pine, she was a frequent site in Southern California waters for three generations.
Schooner Kelpie also carried the moniker “Fastest Schooner in the West”. Even though she was considered well-mannered, one of her captains stated that “In big winds, it was like driving a runaway freight train”!
In this piece, I had painted the water and sea movement of the prevailing north winds and current. This was so familiar from my years of sailing the Catalina Channel.
