What It Takes to Paint "Keys Whaler"

Tripp Harrison, Keys Whaler, Oil on Canvas

“ Keys Whaler is a tribute to some of my fondest childhood memories. In this scene, I have depreciated a classic 13 foot Boston Whaler, reminiscent of the one my uncle had when I was growing up. I remember wading through shallow waters and hopping aboard this timeless craft.

More specifically, I remember the excitement I felt the day I was handed the keys to this great little boat. Finally, I was free to be like Bud and Sandy in the 60s television show Flipper. I rounded up my buddies and we explored the Florida Keys in search of adventure. Making memories that would last a lifetime.” - Tripp Harrison
