Cove and Dock

"Cove and Dock"

Oil on Panel

8x10

sold

Cape Porpoise in Kennebunkport Maine had a place with very interesting colors in the tide-exposed rocks and I loved the light glinting on the roof of the building and on the dock. I was painting it from the sweet spot I told you about yesterday when a few people stopped by to see what I was doing. They enjoyed the art, and we discussed some of the problems of painting. Later we maintained an on line conversation about the challenges we faced and how we did it. In the fall, they contacted me to buy the painting as a holiday gift. It was all pretty special and we still write!

Framed "The Pink House"

The Pink House

8x10

Oil on Prepared Panel

$255

During my stay at Goose Rocks Beach, I discovered a nearby area that was just as compelling. Cape Porpoise is a wonderful spit of land with a deep cove, active fishermen coming and going, a great place to eat lobster, and beautiful views. It was, however, a bit hard to find parking in a distance where I could walk to my chosen painting sites. Finally I found a little spot where there was parking and the perfect spot to paint out of the way and in the shade! I did a few here. I was across the cove from a bunch of houses and this piece shows several of them, though not in the exact orientation. I liked it better this way!

This piece seems to have the sun being squeezed down by the cloud. But it is holding it's own! Another of the plein aire pieces from the porch on the ocean at Goose Rocks beach in Kennebunkport, Maine.
