AMERICA'S CUP "If we can fly today in the San Francisco Bay, this is because there have been "adventurers" like Walter Greene and Mike Birch.
To understand the future, we must know and respect the past."

Artist Layne Arguimbau grinds his own pigments from powders, makes his own grounds of gesso for panels and lead grounds for canvas. He cooks his own oil-resinous mediums in the tradition of the Flemish Masters from 1450 to the 1650, presently using extremely hard amber, sandarac and rosin varnishes.
Painting in a traditional north light studio, he is a light effect painter with deep luminous transparencies, all of which give his paintings a rich old world quality.
A distinct 1850's chestnut barn is where the artist produces and exhibits his work. The sweeping pastures of neighboring Lion Share Farm dotted with its many horses and the beautiful stone walls meandering all throughout the property offer the tranquil pleasure and the privacy sought after by the serious artist needing a place to truly concentrate.
Layne Arguimbau paints in a specifically designed north light studio with shutters to direct the light source, modeled after the studios of the Dutch Masters. Natural light is God’s gift and by painting under north light it remains constant not allowing the shadows do not rotate with the sun as when the exposure in the suns path. Opening a shutter lets the artist beam a shaft of light down on his subject in an absolute controlled manner, in what appears to be a dark room, however the eye quickly adjusts and the light values become more apparent very much like the 1-9 gray scale photographer’s use.
People who paint using a southern exposure have been know to go crazy or move away from light effect painting also when there is too much light everything appears washed out . During the summer, the artist is sailing on Molly Rose, a classic catboat built in Martha Vineyard in 1935 with a 12 ft. beam, the large size cockpit suffices as a studio on the water away from home. The trick to plen-aire painting is to paint in the shade, again like north light where you can control the values.
Layne paints a variety of subject matter, specializing in marines and classic yachts. His commissions include portraits of yachts, views, portraits, animals. Commissions are all subject to an approved oil study, a visual contract, prior to the start of any painting, for reassurance for the client as well as a fixed objective for the artist.

Several postponementsSeptember 7th opened with a thick fog hanging over New York Bay, and through this the racers and a big excursion fleet, loaded to the guards with a patriotic and enthusiastic crowd of sightseers, felt their way down to the Scotland lightship off the Hook.
It was feared by many that the Dunraven affair would result in a permanent cessation of contests for the America's cup, and such might have been the case had not Sir Thomas J. Lipton, an enterprising tradesman, profiting by an era of good feeling between the United States and Great Britain, issued a challenge through an Irish yacht club of which he was a valued member.
Come back of George Lennox WatsonFor this second boat, which was named Shamrock II, Lipton went to George Lennox Watson for the design. Watson was probably the foremost designer in England at that time, if that adjective can be applied to any one man in a profession. His cutter Britannia was one of the most wonderful racing yachts ever turned out.
In the 1890s, with the arrival of Ben Nicholsons three sons to the firm Camper and Nicholson, a final name change was made to Camper and Nicholsons. Middle son, Charles Ernest Nicholson, emerged as the consummate yacht designer, able to combine elegance with speed and seamanship.
Nicholson’s first design of note was the Redwing class, designed for the Bembridge Sailing Club as a single-hander, to replace the expensive half racers...
Edwin Hale Lincoln (1848-1938) was a well-recognized American fine arts photographer who was one of the few photographers that created platinum prints.
