Gloucester Morning

6x6 Oil on Panel

I have had a photo of this little grocery in Gloucester, MA in my studio for quite some time and have always liked it but never painted it.  Today is the day!  I had sketched it out the other night and just decided to play with it early this morning.  This may become a larger piece at some point.  I'm getting ready to 'go bigger' now that I am back in the swing of working regularly.

Happy 4th of July!

We are celebrating the Fourth with family on Cape Cod while awaiting the arrival of Hurricane Arthur which is racing up the coast toward us.  Just pulled the boat out of the lake and heading to the annual neighborhood holiday breakfast.  Looks like lots of card games will be on tap through tonite.  In honor of the holiday,  I thought I'd post my recent plein air attempt at the historic buck man Tavern in Lexington, MA.
