"Almost Low Tide" Framed

"Almost Low Tide"

Oil on Panel

8x10

$255

Gold Frame

This is the first of the work from my recent trip to Maine. For this piece, I was in a great spot in Friendship, Maine. It's a beautiful little town at the tip of the landmass. I had brought my lunch and was searching for the right place to feed the soul as well as the body. I found it next to a boat ramp to the water, and I loved the way this angle on it let the water wander back in space. So I enjoyed my lunch and then did this painting. It is totally plein air, with not a touch-up in sight. The rocks in the foreground are loose and awesome. I put this image on the postcard for the show in Cushing, ME on August 10, 2012.

"A Year in Bloom" was a floral series that I did while I lived in Vermont. I created 365 paintings of flowers, with about 85% of them oils and the rest watercolor. The images were used to create series of cards and you can see them on line. This one is part of the pink and blue ribbon set. set, See that collection by clicking here. Single cards are also available; see them here. Each card has an individually hand-glued mini print of a floral from the series. You can read more about the series including my journal from that year, by clicking here..
