Cape Marsh Abstracted

8 X10 Oil on Panel

After working on the large piece, I thought I would play a bit more loosely with shapes.  I'd like to move more toward abstraction.  This is not abstract, but I did paint with braid loose strokes and no detail, just representative patterns and shapes.  I like the result!

Cape Marsh '16

24 x 30 Oil on Stretched Canvas. SOLD

I decided to work on this large piece from a small sketch I had completed some time ago.  My summer goal is to complete several larger works in hopes of beginning to approach galleries and perhaps mount a show.  I love this journey!

Boat Study

9x12 Oil on Panel

This is a small study just to get the brush moving.  I struggle sometimes with motivation- the 'why' question.  A favorite artist friend once said that inspiration will come with action- just do the work and the rest will follow.  Here's to action.

Cars and Emotions

9x12 Oil on Panel

We recently went to the summer classic car show in Hyannis, MA.  It is a major annual event held on Fathers' Day and there were thousands of people and hundreds of great cars.  As we strolled, we would comment-' I had that car once' or 'remember those beauties'!  Classic cars spur emotion if you are over a certain age.  I took pics and can't wait to play a bit more with these!

 We came across a great harbor on our drive and this peach dinghy caught my eye.

Harpswell 3

16x20" Oil on Gesso Panel

I'll be working on paintings in Maine this week, after a wonderful wedding for our son in Harpswell.  So much to see-and paint.
