You can sail on land, sea and in the air. You can sail to and you can sail from....
— Henry Van Dyke
What a lovely start to a poem that is I-F's prompt for this week. Unfortunately I couldn't find the rest of the poem anywhere, but this was enough of a prompt for me! I will let you decide whether he is sailing in the sea or in the air...
This week I-F is helping raise awareness about cancer, and here in Australia, August 22nd is Daffodil Day, to do the same thing. I would like to dedicate this illustration to my friend Brad who died of cancer way too young, way too many years ago.

It reminds me of Winkin, Blinkin and Nod - "'Where are you going and what do you wish?' the old moon asked the three. 'We come to fish for the herring fish that live in your beautiful sea - nets of silver and gold have we,' said Winkin, Blinkin and Nod."
So lovely, Kim, I love the blue washes, the perspective of the boat sailing away, and those cute, adorable orange fish jumping around. Really lovely!
beautiful!
enchanting!!
I love how magical it feels : )
Very whimsical! Great waves!
Great job Kim, love the intense colors!
Love the color and the energy. Go Boat Go.
This is so whimsical. Those deep saturated blues are delicious!
This is going to sound really abstract but this illo reminds me of a childhood story "Winken, Blinken and Nod". But I can't remember for the life of me what it was about. I just remember it from being a child, it was about going to sleep (or to the land of Nod), and for some reason your illo brought it all flooding back (well back in some sense, considering I can't remember it).
Ha, how funny.
(I'm so sorry to hear about your young friend. Cancer is so indiscriminating).
This is a beautiful dedication to your friend. I see it as the ship leaving the sea of life, and moving on along it's his new journey.
Wonderful illustration!
This is just so beautiful! I love the perspective you used and the curvy lines. The colors are perfect! Nice job!
