Spiddal is a small, 3-pub, Irish coastal town, 15 miles west of Galway, where my wife and I exchanged homes for nearly a month in 2017. Many mornings I spent at the harbor where the scenery changed quickly with the sky and tide. Here it is at low tide. Most notable is the two-hundred-year-old, black, wooden, Galway Hooker moored nearest the steps in the harbor corner.

Bill Hudson is a prize-winning American artist whose paintings have been exhibited in the United States. Every one of his nautical themed compositions brings back fond memories of working the water as a child, or owning his own crab boat in San Pedro as an adult. Hudson's realistic works are created using watercolors and casein, which uses milk curds as a binder rather than gum arabic associated with watercolor and gouache.
