Mossy Forest


Here's another pointillistic 5 x 5 "creative edge" mini, a sunlit mossy forest floor with lichens growing on the tree trunks. Nature is beautiful!
This one is also priced at $50, may be used as a companion piece to the Old Stump posted yesterday.
Call me for availability.

Old Stump


This old stump caught my attention while beachcombing along the Downeast shore. It's got a lot of character. This is "pointillism" number 2 - fun!
This painting is a 5 x 5 mini, has a "creative edge" (requiring no framing) and is priced at $50.
Call or email for availability.

Progress....


Working on it... One thing about triptychs - you have to keep in mind that they are really three individual pieces that each needs to meet normal design rules, then the three together must also meet these same criteria, just like any other painting...

Pointillistic Experiment!


Thought I'd try pointillism - a neighbor artist friend has done a fantastic job with it, and it looked like fun. Boy, is it ever! Requires some discipline and patience, but I love the technique. Will probably try a few more, from time to time.
This is a rock pile by the side of the road on nearby Cape Split.
Oil on canvas board, 11 x 14, $300.

MOOSE!


Those of us living in Maine don't always fully appreciate how lucky we are. Imagine camping in the woods, waking up before dawn, walking down to the lakeshore, and as the sun rises and the early morning mist lifts, there, 30 yards away, is a majestic bull moose, contemplating his domain. Awesome!
This is a 14 x 18 oil on canvasboard, $400, with free shipping. Email me for availability.

Monhegan with Mike Rooney


Finally went back and finished a painting I started on Monhegan Island while attending a workshop conducted by Mike Rooney last September. Loved the class and loved this harbor view!
8 x 10 oil on convasboard - $50, free shipping. Email me for availability.
