Low Tide, Lane's Cove, 9x12", chalk on paper.
Lane's Cove Fish Shack, 9x12", oil on panel.A beautiful day down at the cove today. Children playing in the water, enjoying summer vacation as only kids that live a couple of blocks from the ocean can. And how's this Mr. & Ms. Child Safety: not a one of them were under parental supervision. That's right, water way over their heads, motorboats coming in and out of the cove, and not one suit of kevlar-plated swim-armor anywhere. Who would have thought that possible in this day and age of filial overprotection? I'm very glad to live among real people again.
Queen Anne's Lace, 8x10", oil on linen panel.
Today it supposed to storm something nasty, so I got this one in quick before it hits. It's breezy and humid out there, certainly feels like a storm brewing...
Sailboat across Ipswich Bay, 11x14", oil on canvas panel.
I can't believe it's been over a week since I posted here, but it has been hectic. I was working on a project for a friend, a map of New Hampshire that is going in a trade show display. Should be pretty cool.
Today's painting tried to capture that haze that results in the middle of summer. The air gets very warm and holds a ton of moisture. This painting is a view from Lane's Cove across Ipswich Bay, similar to this painting and this one.
Bluets, 5x7", oil on panel.
Some tiny spring flowers blooming near the cove this morning.
Tide Pools, 11x14", oil on canvas panel.
Red Boat in Lobster Cove, 5x7", oil on panel.
Here are the pieces I did the last two days. Conditions today were very windy and my subject (Red Boat) on the water meant there was no windbreak anywhere nearby. I still think I managed to capture the values and colors though, even if the boat was swinging back and forth on its mooring the whole time.
