Lobster Boat at Sunset- #7411

8 x 10 inches Oil on canvas

The Pelican coming in for the evening


4th of July Parade in Warren Vermont...

Tea Party in Mad River Valley...

Small Point Dock - #7211

8 x 10 inches Oil on canvas

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.

Lobster Boats Big Wood Island - #7111

8 x 10 inches Oil on canvas

I thought I'd originally put the foreground boat in, and later removed it. The water and wind change as do the directions of the boats.
The arrangement of spacing is interesting to me, and I hope this will inform larger paintings from this kind of study along with the photos I took.

'Ruth' Sebasco Harbor Resort - #63011

8 x 10 inches Oil on canvas

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.

Breaking Waves - #62911

8 x 10 inches Oil on canvas

Not burning sun yet, so didn't feel need for an umbrella. Tide going out on this one...

Morse River - #62611

8 x 10 inches Oil on canvas

I dunno, early morning PINK got to me a little too much.

I witnessed 2 deer crossing the river during low tide swimming across! Gulls were dipping and plenty of bugs...

Seashell Plated - #62511

8 x 10 inches Oil on canvas

This was started again at the Colin Page workshop as a 45 minute study. Hello...what was I thinking seashell
8 x 10 ? I completed it back in studio to give it more distinct personality. Anyone know what kind of shell this is? I think this may be my first still life that was more than a study... (I'm not including interiors that have a vase on a window sill).

Dinghys in Grey Study- #62411

6 x 6 inches Oil on Birch Ply

Boats in Grey - #62311

6 x 6 inches Oil on Birch Ply

Continuation of gray studies with Colin Page from last week. I found these outdoor value studies to be a really good reminder of priorities when challenged by plein air and changing light (or movement as well in case of water and boats!~)

Sunset Fishing Time - #62011

Pull Start -#61611

I kind of like the two of these juxtaposed together...the bright orange foul weather gear is nice against the greys.
