While picking up our daughter at the ferry, I had a chance to appreciate some of the local fishing boats.

Provincetown Wanderings

8x8 Oil on Stretched Canvas.  SOLD

We travelle d to P-town for a date this weekend- great street scenes- wonderful people watching- loads of wonderful galleries.  I had a chance to visit the Anne Packard gallery- one of my all time favorite Cape artists.  Her work is amazing, evoking all that is wonderful about Cape Cod and Provincetown in particular.  I found myself feeling honored to be a painter- to share in some minuscule and remote way this craft with someone who is so talented in ways I can never hope to approach.  Still, we paint.  All of us who do can share in the joy of color and challenge and light and shadow.  We can see the world in different perspectives and notice details in the life around us.   Grateful on this Sunday morning.

Maine Series 2

8x8" Oil on Stretched Canvas

The long weekend provided much needed rest and time in the studio.  I worked a bit on a tutorial, and then decided to paint this little gem.  I'll be spending time in the Harpswell, ME area in the next few days for a wedding and have made several trips this spring.  Beautiful bay views and amazing light.  Anyway,  I so enjoyed my time painting this one!

Midwest series 7

8x8 Oil on Stretched Canvas

The small storage silos you see in Ohio and elsewhere in farm country are not a familiar sight in New England.  Again, I was out in the very early morning sunshine.  Fun to paint!

Snow Day

24 x 36 Oil on Stretched Canvas

We are in the midst of the second blizzard and the fourth major snow storm in a three week period- SO much snow.  Most of our time these days involves shoveling and staying warm.  But- snow days do have some great aspects that you never experience otherwise- great time together, good food, rest, reading and of course time to create.  I had a wonderful morning in the studio creating this large piece reflecting my impressions of the storms that have come in waves recently.  There is both a violence and a calm- days of stark white and skies of bright blue.  I don't often paint abstracts, but when I do I find them to draw on emotion and to require a different focus and intensity.  Really a great experience.
