William B. Hoyt captures the heart of the sea and the sail-like no other. The water moves along his brush strokes and carries you away. Even for a land lover, the lure of the ocean is hard to resist when visiting with William's work.

In "Topside Galley," the details will transport you to Maine: fresh strawberries, the lobster pot, and the tiny coastal town in the distance. The artist himself tells it best. 

 "'Topside Galley' celebrates and contemplates a moment from last summer on a friend's converted lobster boat just as the sun goes down, and we are anchored for the night. The water's on the boil for dinner; for this moment, all is right in this simple world. If only I could paint the susurration of water lapping at the hull; so peaceful."

Recreating not only the image contained inside a memory but also the emotion tangled around it is a skill. Attaining it takes a love for the place, the time, and, of course, a love of the art.
