"Slack Tide, Fog"

“Slack Tide, Fog”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD

There has been quite a bit of fog, lately. Ten minutes before I started this painting, it was sunny with good shadows…

"Evening Fog"

“Evening Fog”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD

I drove right by this tranquil scene, the fog was so thick. When I rounded the bend in the road, I could just make out this boat. I turn about and was able to park and get this painting mostly done. Then I noticed car headlights going past getting brighter and brighter. Or was the evening getting darker and darker…

"Clam Point"

“Clam Point”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD

Compared to summer, this is a quiet place in early spring. No boats out on moorings. No paddle boards floating by. With water temperature near 50˚F, it is still too cool for much water activity except for waterfowl and fish and Osprey…

"Perception"

“Perception”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

To say Perception’s bottom paint caught my eye would be an understatement. It took me a few scouting tours to decide what time of day was optimal for painting. Lunches at the nearby Tavern helped the scouting, too…

"Skiff"

“Skiff”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD

A beautiful warm day found me driving out to the beach. This pond skiff was just waiting for me when I got there…

"The Narrows"

“The Narrows”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

It was a cool, breezy evening despite what the painting might look like. Edgartown harbor is off to the rear of the view. Katama bay is in the foreground. And I am in the van! I actually stayed there and painted from the front seat to keep warm…

"Scallop Boat"

“Scallop Boat”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

I was in the lee of the wind with 45 mph gusts overhead and farther out from shore. It was not a day to be outside of my van painting however. Just as I was finishing, a thunderhead floated over the lighthouse to my left. It became orange on the sunset side of the anvil shape and deep purple on the eastern side. Moving too fast for me to try to paint it, I can only savor it in my memory…

"All In A Row"

“All In A Row”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

This has taken a couple of visits to complete. Either it has been too sunny or the wind has been too cold and strong. And when the weather was right, the clouds weren’t. But it always feels so good to head out of the studio with half a painting done, instead of with a blank canvas…

"Out Of Service"

“Out Of Service”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

Sometimes I go out to paint a subject I have seen before, but come back with a completely different composition. I haven’t left the sky out of an image recently and I like the low view angle with not even the top of the horizon showing…

"Home Base"

“Home Base”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

The good old days seem to have passed for these two brothers’ boats. However, they brighten up the winter harbor with their shades of blue and graceful lines…
