Warren Covered Bridge and Crib Dam - #81411

20 x 20 inches Oil on canvas framed . Available from Parade Gallery, Warren Vermont



Here was my setting for the Great Plein Air Paint Out on Saturday. It's in process.
I painted it already framed for the 3:30- 5:30 Exhibit.

A fun day talking to folks who dropped by to talk about the process.

Ocean View

24 x 24 inches Oil on canvas

I thought the picture of the view lined up with the painting was too funny.
So little amuses the artist.

Seal Cove - Isaiah's Head

Low Tide Early Morning Rocks

20 x 20 inches Oil on canvas



This wet moss seaweed is pretty darn spring green in the early morning light.





The sound of the glug, glug, glug of the low engine going by to check his traps was a comforting sound at 7 am.

Ocean Waves Crossing

12 x 12 inches Oil on canvas

Standing on the beach, trying to capture the patterns and texture and colors while it's all moving...so absorbing to listen to as well.

Here's the start and you can see I'm painting over an earlier reclining nude that's getting retired!

Southampton Wave

$99. + S/H

Southampton beach was so spectacular over the weekend, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky or more than a dozen people in the morning when we were there!

Rushing Water

11 x 14 inches Oil on birch

Rushing river over rocks ...cannot be anymore exciting. The water has been high with all the rain we have had in Vermont this summer.

Sail Away
