You always have such hopes... this one got away from me with wind changes and probably the scale of the boats and distance. I've got to figure out the depth of values better in the water. I'm engrossed with the spacing of boats still.

'Ruth' Sebasco Harbor Resort - #63011

After painting on the drizzly day, I returned to Sebasco Harbor Resort dock to paint Ruth.


Cruises Aboard the Ruth
"The Ruth
Our own tour boat, the Ruth, is the center of much of that activity and has been delighting our guests since her launch in 1935. We offer a number of trips during the summer months, including scenic harbor and nature cruises, pirate cruises, and lunch cruises.
All scheduled trips aboard the Ruth are reserved seating and reservations should be made in advance to avoid disappointment."
The evening light of the day is the last tour for 'Ruth'. The sparkles on the water are dazzling.

Two Dinghys
10 x 10 inches Oil on canvas
$535 +S/H

This photo of the flat light day was taken off a computer screen, since I didn't have my camera that day while painting. If you notice the keel in the front boat, I adjusted the line because it looked "off" the way it really is - see in the photo? It doesn't seem to line up with the bow! Go figure. Unfortunately in this computer photo, you can't really see the colors in shadows etc. That's a good reason to paint from life!!

This was taken day later on brighter day.

Still Dinghy
20 x 20 inches Oil on canvas Framed
$1100 + S/H
OK, here's the dinghy that was tied at the stern I mentioned in the previous post to keep it from sashaying around. Luckily I had it down pretty much before the lobsterman returned to dock to put his boat next to it and untied it.
There was a bright yellow label on stern and bright blue recycle bin on dock that I left out, because the primary color thing would have really been unbelievable. It made for a pretty good photograph though.
Available from my gallery in Stowe: Vermont Fine Art

I like all the stuff on the docks almost as much as the boats themselves.
