I recently came across a striking painting, which sits atop a friends mantelpiece. He inherited it after his grandfather passed away. He had always been fond of it growing up and recalled the way the Captains' eyes seemed to follow you across the room, which they really do! His gaze is captivating when you stand face to face with it. I'm not yet sure who this painting was made by or who this watchful Captain is, but seeing as this friends family is from the East Coast I imagine that this is the Captain of a Fishing boat, pushing along against the raging sea. The rest of the story I do not yet know.
