Fisherman's Float

Fisherman's Float
7x5"
oil on panel 

starting bid $75


This is a small piece I did while sitting on the dock in Islesford, Maine. The days had been grey with fog and rain, but the colors of the fishermen's equipment glowed through that mood and reflected in the water. I painted quickly and I meant to go back and make it more specific. But then it was clear that is was done. Now. So here it is!

"Checking the Traps" (Framed)



18x24
Oil on Canvas
Framed with light wood contemporary floater frame

sold



When I visited `Maine, I was taken by the working waterfront and it has become my primary subject matter now. The piece shows a couple of lobstermen checking their traps behind a field of buttercups in Friendship, Maine. Recently, I heard that the lobster boats built in Friendship are considered the best.
