They had been <em>almost<\/em> finished for a long time, and just needed to be wrapped up and signed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This one is based on a photo I took in Summer 2017, when I was pregnant with our son. Boston was hosting Tall Ships from around the world, and I took advantage of a last minute opportunity to hop on a Boston Harbor cruise after work to tour the incredible ships, just as dusk light hit the beautiful skyline. It was a sweet memory &#8211; a rare opportunity to do something beautiful alone and just for me &#8211; just before becoming a mama. As with many other paintings (both before and after motherhood), I worked on it on and off over a long time, including not touching it for over a year, and finally finished it up yesterday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-25956\" src=\"http:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/wp-1707936879528312612909830366305-750x592.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/wp-1707936879528312612909830366305-750x592.jpg 750w, https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/wp-1707936879528312612909830366305-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/wp-1707936879528312612909830366305-768x606.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/wp-1707936879528312612909830366305.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<!-- relpost-thumb-wrapper --><div class=\"relpost-thumb-wrapper\"><!-- filter-class --><div class=\"relpost-thumb-container\"><style>.relpost-block-single-image, .relpost-post-image { margin-bottom: 10px; }<\/style><h4>random related posts:<\/h4><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><!-- relpost-block-container --><div class=\"relpost-block-container relpost-block-column-layout\" style=\"--relposth-columns: 5;--relposth-columns_t: 4; --relposth-columns_m: 4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2008\/02\/19\/home-tuesday\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ngg_featured\/34618-1203462925-0-150x150.jpg\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">Home on a Tuesday!<\/h2><div class=\"relpost_card_exerpt\">Too sore to go to work, but not sore enough to kee...<\/div><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">February 19, 2008<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2012\/08\/02\/old-south-church\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/239__417x700_old-south-church-1000-150x150.jpg\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">Old South Church<\/h2><div class=\"relpost_card_exerpt\">Finished another painting!\r\nI started a handful of...<\/div><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">August 2, 2012<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2017\/02\/09\/ogunquit-waves-2\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Ogunquit-waves-100x100.jpg\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">Ogunquit Waves<\/h2><div class=\"relpost_card_exerpt\">For me, paintings are often nothing more than a wa...<\/div><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">February 9, 2017<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><!-- close relpost-block-container --><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><\/div><!-- close filter class --><\/div><!-- close relpost-thumb-wrapper --><!-- Developer mode initialization; Version: ;4.3.3Relation: both; All categories: 1;Found 3 posts;Basic sizes;Got sizes 100x100;Post-thumbnails enabled in theme;Post has thumbnail 4636;Postthname: thumbnail;Using title with size 160.
