When we first visited Oman in 2007 we were fortunate to go on a day trip to the coastal town Sur, famous for its dhow building. I recall doing a couple of sketchbook watercolours of these distinctive sailing vessels in the heat of the day, the high sun catching the top of the clouds. These studies of dhows became the inspiration for a number of studio paintings including one on gold leaf and this watercolour.
