Jim DeWitt Original Oil Painting

This beautiful Jim Dewitt painting was a gift to my wife as a wedding present in 1987. The wife has gone but the painting remains. The painting “Into the Light” was taken from a photograph of the SV ‘Speedwell’, built for Carl Strom, commodore of the Aeolian Yacht Club, for Thomas Jennings commodore of the Corinthian Yacht Club from 1904–1906. The picture has some minor heat–related damage, which is reparable. Jim DeWitt’s paintings of this type are for sale for prices in excess of $15,000, which makes this painting a rare buy.
