Annisquam Yacht Club Moorings

Oil on canvas 11x14
I have to say that I really like painting outdoors and wonder if I should be living where there's less rain. As long as there are clouds, we are set. The tide was running out as I painted. Had to finish before the boats turned to face the other direction. Timing the tide is important to plein air by the sea. It must be even more of a challenge in Maine. Less so in Florida.

The Shack of our Dreams

Oil on Gessobord 5x7

When I lived on Cape Ann I used to ride my bike past this shack, which sits precariously askew overlooking Ipswich Bay. Oh, how I wished it were mine. It is almost my favorite structure on the island.

After JLW, after FHL, after....

Bent's Landing, Annisquam, MA 12x16 Oil on Linen N/A

The Annisquam River, beyond the granite landing, was quiet that day in late spring. One tugboat went by but I couldn't get it onto the canvas.
Thanks for looking.

Sisters Rock

Acrylic on canvas 14x18in contact me

On my last day on the coast of Oregon, my sisters and I gathered on the deck to enjoy every last bit of our artist's retreat. Pelicans, seals and the beautiful Pacific Ocean, with these lovely rocks standing just offshore. Nina Rochette completed a painting of the same view at the beginning of our stay. www.9paintings.com
Thank you for looking.

Walker Creek

William's View 12x16in Oil on Linen SOLD

This was done from a great spot on a friend's deck. An alternative name would have been "Low Tide at High Noon". But I am coming to appreciate the shorter title as it affects listing issues. So, William thought it had too many boats in it and after getting a bit of distance, I agreed. Out came the offending middle craft. Then, curious about how it might look at higher tide with only one boat, I quickly did the small study below. I may go back to the deck.

Cherries on Tin

Oil on board 5x7 $75 + s/h

I was house sitting for friends and spent the days painting the sea and coves. When the weather turned stormy and I had to stay indoors I tossed five cherries onto this cookie sheet with its beautiful patina from 30 years of baking. We all have one, don't we? Then the sun came out just in time to light them up before it set. Luck.

Three Pears at a Time

Oil on board 6x6in. $75 + s/h

Bosc pears are so delicious. But their plainness makes me wonder if they are passed over on the produce display. How can they hope to attract a buyer compared with the green and burgundy of their cousins? I think the person who decided on these blue and white labels was brilliant. Chilean pears with a Chinese spinoff of a Delft Clock.
