"Overcast"

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

Finding the right days to work on this piece were frustrating. The first attempt was a fogfilled evening, but there is so much in the painting that I could not finish it before dark. The second time the sun came out. It sets this time of year just over the middle fishing shack. It was blinding and I gave up and went fishing instead. Third time was again foggy. Great, but it soon turned to rain and I had to rush for cover. After a stretch of sunny days, a heavy overcast came in and stayed, allowing me the time to finish this properly on location…

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

The sky was almost clear as I began this painting. It rapidly turned into another type of day as I worked to finish this by sundown. It was low tide and the beach had eaten into the dunes and cliffs another 5 feet since I last was here in spring…

It was a warm, breeze filled day. Down at sea level in the corner of the pond, I found this row boat waiting for me to paint. Sometimes, there is the danger of the boat’s owner appearing and rowing off. Today was not one of those times…

Some fishermens’ shacks are shuttered for the season. Lobstermen begin to pull traps for the fall. Striped bass and bluefish are migrating past as the waters cool from summer’s heat…

The sun popped through the clouds long enough to illuminate the bridge for my painting. Then it played hide and seek with me until it set…

"Ferry Past Split Rock"

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

With a little help from my friends, I found this lookout from which to paint. I knew the thunderhead was over the mainland. I just was not sure if it would give me a show as the last sunlight warmed the tip of the cloud mass…

"Racing Down Creek"

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

During gloomy, overcast days it is sometimes hard to find good subject matter to paint. The light is flat. It should be easy to capture since it does not change much, whereas on a sunny day shadows constantly shift or leave altogether. This was a bit harder as there were rents in the fabric of the clouds, allowing sun and/or blue sky in and out of the landscape…

"Fog at Sunset"

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

It was raining when I started out, but stopped when I arrived at the western end of the island. I walked up to the lookout point, set up and started to paint. The breeze was light, but from the direction of the swamps below. The mosquito cloud built around me. I double shirted myself and continued on until dusk. I packed up in haste and raced off to my vehicle. As I climbed in, the heavens let loose and it poured. Still, I would call it a good day…

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

I found this view the other evening when out swimming. While not the same partly cloudy evening with red sky as I first observed, I enjoyed this scene in the cloudless sunset…

"Home From Cuttyhunk"

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

I was not scouting for a particular view when I started out today. In my van by this beach path watching terns dive for their dinner, I wondered if the fishing would be good. Opening the tail gate to grab my fishing rod, I got my paints out instead. As I began painting, every 15 or 20 minutes another sailboat would come through the passage between the far islands and pose for me…
