Happy Birthday Captain Bruce

My Dad turned 65 this past Sunday, and my family went to Bermuda to celebrate. I didn't bring his actual present to the island, only a picture, but I wanted it to reflect his love of the ocean, and some of the aesthetics of Bermuda and, of course, Newport. The image itself is taken from a "How to Paint Seascapes" book that belonged to my grandfather 40 years ago, that we found hidden under cobwebs and decades of disuse in my grandmother's basement. I think that that family connection makes it an even more fitting present to celebrate Captain Bruce's birthday.
