The Seafood Ketch- Maine

8x10

email me if youre interested in purchasing

 

Did this one after class one day, up in Maine, a few weeks ago. The light's gorgeous at this time of the day. Long shadows, boats and water, and the front side of the building started to light up. what's not to like? 

 

if youre on Facebook (and who's not these days) drop me a friend request. seems I'm on there a lot more than I thought I'd be, posting new paintings. workshop postings, and other good stuff.

Looking Down on Capt Charlies-12x16-0502B

email me for price and availability

 

this week i painted this colorful 12x16. its the second one this size i've done from a smaller study i did several years ago, when i was on a residency trip to bald head island. imagine getting a free place to stay and a golf cart to get around on, and all you have to do is paint all day long, wake up and do it all over again. just so they can say there's an artist on the island. what a gig!there is nothing else to do on this remote island resort, but paint beautiful scenes like this one all day. was over there almost a week. i think it takes at least that long to pick up  on the vibe of the place youre trying to capture. its great when people,who have been to the island before, say looking at my paintings take them back there!

Boat in a Field-8x10

now at City Art in Greenville NC

$450 framed

 

well my Acer computer that i bought for $300 six years ago finally died. it had been sick for awhile but i nursed it along longer than i should have. so i had to go out and buy a new one. got a dell and i really like it. its nice to be able to use the battery and not have to plug in to a socket all the time. for years i did this with the acer instead of letting go some cash for a new battery. then the old one used to shut off randomly when it got hot. aggravating to say the least. you could be right in the middle of a long email or blogpost and BOOM it would shut down and all that work would be lost. no more of that thank God! its not easy being a cheap skate.

 

RIP Acer!

 

this week i was on the outer banks teaching and painting. the weather really didnt want to cooperate as the nor'easter gave us rain and cold north winds. but everybody had a good time and learned alot.

i'll finish up on the 22x28 i'm working on and then head out to teach at Art of the Carolinas in raleigh. i'll be teaching a class on values friday night, how to simplify complexity saturday night and all day sunday i'll be explaining the cape school underpainting method. seats are limited.
