Bass Solo, Unfinished
Bass Solo, Unfinished
5 in. x 7 in., acrylic on cradled panel
$130 unframed (framing not necessary)
I know, I know, it's weird, but hear me out. There is was, sitting on the beach with my chair in the water and the waves coming up around my feet and ankles (like you do), enjoying the salt air, the sunshine and the sound of the ocean. I look over to my right and see this chunk of something washed up in the surf about 20 feet away. Being a curious girl, I get up and walk over for a closer inspection, and discover what was left of an Atlantic striped bass, staring up at me from eyeless sockets. Whatever beast consumed the vast majority of this unfortunate fish didn't quite finish its meal, leaving me with this strange little how-do-you-do moment with what remained. I snapped a few shots, thinking it could maybe be an interesting painting. And I guess what I'm getting at with this whole thing is that what non-artists need to understand is when artists say that something might make an "interesting painting," what they mean is interesting to them. We don't necessarily mean "interesting enough that someone might buy it." Don't get me wrong. Someone might! And that's great, of course! It just means that our motivation for painting a subject is the challenge to explore it because it's somehow different, and we want to see if we can render it to our satisfaction. That's why I thought it might be fun to paint a dead fish head. Do you like it?

As you know, pumpkins and winter squash make me happy. This set of happy cousins posing for a formal picture against a classic dark background seems like quiet, quintessential fall to me. I hope you like it!

Dune Path, Plum Island II
Dune Path, Plum Island II
20 in. x 24 in., acrylic on canvas
$850 framed
This painting is a scaled-up version of a small piece I painted and sold a few years ago. The sweeping perspective up the dune, and the interplay of violet shade and golden light on the sand is interesting and exciting to me. The dunes on Plum Island down at the end at Sandy Point are beautiful against the blue sky and worth the trip. This painting is large and would look lovely on a wide, sunny wall or over a fireplace.
