Sunlight and Shadow on Islesford




"Sunlight and Shadow on Islesford"

7x5

Oil on Panel


starting bid $25


It was the last painting day of my Henry Isaacs/Ashley Bryan workshop on Islesford and the first sun we had seen, so we were quite joyful. After painting a couple of small pieces looking out at the harbor, I turned and saw this sunlight shining through the trees and hitting the little one in the back. It was fun to paint!

I am hungry to go to Long Hill Reservation in Beverly when the blue flowers come out. There are thousands of siberian squill and scilla and they pop up everywhere. It was a beautiful day when I sat down and painted these nestled in some rocks at the base of a greening-up tree.

These little pleasure boats are sitting in Rockport Harbor, MA. They are wondering why their owner hasn't come to take them out on such a lovely day, and I am too. Low starting bid, already framed, a great deal!

"Green Poems, Laid in Dark Store, Wither and Grow Soft, like Unturned Apples in a Loft".
Sometimes I do "Inside Work". It is usually mixed media and often responds to some bit of writing or a poem or music. This quote - which just couldn't be shortened for the title - is one that I find rings so true for me when I am waiting for inspiration to paint. There may be none - just paint and it might happen. Writers and painters are often similar in process.  If you wait for the perfect complete moment, your green ideas will wither away.
