Sta.sh
In stormy conditions upper sails would have been struck (taken in) because they both add too much leverage to the top of the mast and are harder and riskier to take in once the weather advances. This guy would be coming into this harbour under courses (lowest sails) alone.
There appears to be no crew on deck, not even the required lookout. Adding shadowy figures all about the deck and some in the foremast rigging would seem more authentic.
Also the rectangular windows would not be found anywhere but in the transom (flat stern face of hull) because that's where the officers' great cabin is. Most 15th- to 19th-C ships did not have any side portholes at all-- they are a vulnerability both in terms of sailing safety and in battle.
The rendering of the surrounding conutryside and seascape is marvellous. I just hope that captain knows what he's doing coming this close to such rocks. (Or is the other picture, 'Crash', his sticky end?)
I will give you credit! I'll put a link to your DeviantArt Page.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful artwork.
Btw, is it lying deep in the water (perhaps making water?) or is the ship's hull relatively long?
I love it !
