Another competition piece

Hi there, I painted this piece for a competition, it isn't until August but I like to work ahead. They provided several wonderful old black and white photos to be our inspiration. There was one of a sailboat and that was my inspiration for this painting. I wanted it to feel like a gray day with lots of clouds and this is very different from the boat in her photo, didn't want to copy it. Also this is a mixed media piece with acid free paper added to the canvas first, I thought that would make it more interesting. This is acrylic on a 11" X 14" stretched canvas.
