Love it!  You really captured the look of these boats, and great colors too!

Thank you!  It's a funny thing about that blue. . . Chapelle writes "The decks were painted yellow, green, or with the hard unpleasant blue used in some Mediterranean boats."  The shade I chose is quite unpleasant to my eyes, but gosh it sure works when on the water with the sun out.
