"The Picton Castle Sails Boston" was conceived when I heard
the tall ships would be coming to Boston and better yet that
Spirit Cruise Ships provides a day of sail to view the
parade of sail from aboard giving me an opportunity
to include the harborfront in my paintings as they were.
I am just finishing up a few more of this "in the studio
collection" until it's time to go out and paint en plein air.
This paintingis included in the opening exhibition at the Northshore
Presenting Plein Air Paintings Below
The Amastat is used as a training vessel and also as a party boat. Here
when I painted this boat on location in Vineyard Haven Harbor
there were many people aboard about to set sail.
Sorry this painting was sold in 2017
"The Kalmarnykle" is a replica of a Danish ship from worlds ago. She
is used as a training vessel and is docked here in Vineyard Haven. This was painted
in 2 consecutive day visits. If I could describe my exhuberance I would
but nothing compares to doing this and finishing it in 2 visits totaling 6 hours
Those of you knowing about plein air painting know that it is neccessary to
move on after a little while and come back to it, the sun has moved on
and has changed the whole picture until a visit again allows for completion.
This painting speaks volumns to me. I imagine the adventure, The triumps and challenges,
Here I am in the photo painting the "End of the Line" 20 x 24, a passerby who was enamored with
my work and hung around long enough for me to ask him to take this picture for me. I visited
2 days in a row to complete this painitng, since it was overcast I was able to work long hours
each visit. It is for sale.
