The Pink House - SOLD

The Pink House ~SOLD Somebody liked this!

12 in. x 12 in., acrylic on cradled panel    

$200 unframed

It's a colorful, abandoned house on the edge of the salt marsh in Newburport, MA on the road going out to Plum Island, and a landmark to multitudes of people who live in or visit the area.  It hasn't been lived in for decades, and a little while back the local government wanted to pull it down.  The people of Newburyport responded immediately in protest and moved to save The Pink House.  It's been photographed, painted, drawn, cartooned and become a fixture, despite its deteriorating roof, siding and paint.  Here's my hot, hazy, high summer portrait of the familiar, glowing, retro manse basking in sun amid the long, overgrown grasses and shrubs, still tethered to an old utility pole high in the salty air.

Big Sky at Chapman's Landing

Big Sky at Chapman's Landing

11 in. x 14 in., acrylic on cradled wood panel    

$240 unframed

A spring trip through Stratham, NH when the new grasses were green green green brought us by Chapman's Landing, a little salt marsh pull-off, boat launch and estuary area where the Squamscott River joins Great Bay at the New Hampshire seacoast.  This piece is painted on a cradled gessoed wood panel, which was great fun, since the paint moves across the surface with little drag compared to canvas.  I very much enjoyed the brushy marks I was able to make and decided I liked the look of leaving some marks a little raw with the warm brown underpainting peeking through.
