This shipwrecked boat, I call Ike was painted twice. I walked around it and painted one view and decided to do another. Where we were brought up, we experienced Hurricanes all our life. This boat ended up at the bottom of the Rainbow Bridge. The painting is done in oils and measures 24"x 22". I framed it and the frame goes with the painting.

The effects of Hurricane Ike in Texas were crippling and long-lasting. Ike's effects included deaths, widespread damage, and impacts to the price and availability of oil and gas. Hurricane Ike also had a long-term impact on the U.S. economy.[1] Making landfall over Galveston, at 2:10 a.m. CDT[2] on September 13, 2008, Category 2 Hurricane Ike caused extensive damage in Texas, with sustained winds of 110 mph (180 km/h), a 22 ft (6.7 m) storm surge, and widespread coastal flooding.[2][3][4]
More than 140,000 residents in the Texas Gulf Coast danger zones in Ike's path had failed to evacuate,[5] partly due to fears of multi-hour traffic jams as during Hurricane Rita, but over 940 were rescued from rising waters,[2][6] and nearly 2,000 rescued afterward.[5][7] As of December 27, 2008, 37 people are known to have died in Texas due to Ike while hundreds are still missing.[8]
