Spring Thaw at Portland Head Light


 



















Spring Thaw at Portland Head Light

8 in. x 8 in., acrylic on panel

$200 framed 

Being probably the most photographed place on the eastern seaboard, and only 2 hours from my home, it's an easy hole-in-one to paint PHL any time I'm feeling like I just want to create a piece of classic New England.  I've painted and sold this lighthouse a few times over, and feel like I know all its details by heart.  This view was painted from some reference photos we took when we were there in March a while back.  As chilly as it was, the cold blue of the ocean and stark white of the lighthouse looked warmer with the orange and red scrub and grasses matted from the recently melted snow cover.

True Friends















True Friends

6 in. x 6 in., acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas

$130 unframed (no frame necessary)

This is a painting I recently completed using a great reference photo from @sedwickstudio.  I In this piece, the concern that the three whole pears seem to have for their cloven counterpart is quite lovely and wholesome to observe. I nearly titled it "The Widow," but that was a little too heartbreaking, and I'd rather leave the reason for the concern up to the personal interpretation of the viewer, and ultimately, the buyer who connects with it.

Mount Washington from North Conway


































Mount Washington from North Conway

6 in. x 6 in., acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas

$130 unframed (no frame necessary)

A March trip up NH Route 16 led to a few snapshots from the car as we rolled through North Conway.  Imposing Mount Washington sits resolute along the straightaway in town, making all the buildings, cars and telephone poles feel like a miniature village.
