  • James Gurney embarks on an artistic voyage with Jeanette, Smooth, and captain Frank on a 1966 Glastron Futura speed boat, destination Middle Ground Flats on the Hudson River. The goal is to paint the moored boat en plein air, but first he has to overcome rain, wind, quicksand, and an engine that won’t start.

    Painting, they said. It's a calming hobby, they said. It will help you relax. Yeesh! Nobody talked about the rain and the quicksand.

    I love the effort Mr Gurney puts into his videos, like with the stop-motion unfolding scroll giving the names of the paint colours used. Beautiful painting too!!

    I love your work. That boat is a classic. It’s funny how a quick sketch/painting became cherished memorabilia. Your adventure with rain, wind, mud, an uncooperative outboard motor and a wet dog was a hoot! I applaud your positivity and outdoor spirit.

    the way he said he couldn't get the engine starting for 2 hours and then segues to the explanation emanates 'oh no! anyway' energy

    Pulling a boat with a car, now that's the most interesting thing I saw in that video. I haven't seen that since steel frames went away. I had an old buick that would out pull any Truck today. Then again I have always loved on waterfront property with my own private 6 slip dock, so I don't have to worry about pulling boats. My father was a genius. He built in the old archimedes claw system. Which lifts the board out of the water so we can power wash the hulls. Set them back in and we are in business. A stranger pulls up thinking they are in a park the claw can sink them. Easy peasy

    I believe the postal service's motto applies here with a few modifications: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays this artist from the swift completion of his appointed painting." :D
    Lovely as always despite the obstacles. Love those water effects!
    I hope Jeanette's phone is still functional! And glad to see Smooth wearing his life jacket.

    The brayer gradient is a cool idea. Reminds me of the tinted plastic overlay my parents had for our B&W television; blue at the top and green at the bottom for a faux color picture. Of course close-ups had blue foreheads and green chins but we didn’t mind.

    one time when I was in school at new paltz I painted an exposed chimney near a seasonal goods shop on "Apple Hill Farm" and then it began to mist.
    I was pretty proud of the result because all the compact white dots made the chimney popping out of the woods look surreal.

    Greetings, sir!
    I love this video! I could almost feel the thrill of the experiences you shared.
    Painting under the rain is not easy. I experienced it a couple of times these past few days. I have a similar home made easel based on your design, but it did not have the same diffuser. I used spring clamps to attach a small umbrella on my tripod instead.
    I feel so stoked about Gradients! Will definitely get it on the day of its release. Learning something new from you is not only very exciting, but also very rewarding.
