Owls Head Lobster Company

Owls Head Lobster Company

24"x3 wonderful 0" (without frame)

Oil on stretched canvas

$750

A wonderful vacation in Maine last August, after a very busy, project filled summer, yielded lots of great photos for future paintings.  I returned home rested and recharged.  

En route to Owls Head Lighthouse, to take photos for a future painting, we drove by this very colorful arrangement of lobster bouys marking the entrance to the Owls Head Lobster Company.  It was too much to resist, I love color more than anything else that doesn't have a heartbeat.

I am very proud of this painting, I worked hard on the foreground and shadows.  I hope you like it as well.  If you are interested in this painting, but would like to chose your own frame, just drop me a note in the comments section (I won't publish it) and we can discuss.

More paintings coming in the New Year, my next project will be another lighthouse....

Pemaquid Lighthouse

Pemaquid Lighthouse

22"x28"

Oil on stretched canvas

$750

This painting has been keeping me busy in the studio for the past few weeks.  It's been a lot of fun painting it, although I will admit that the the white fence, lighthouse and buildings had me really worried about how to bring out the details and still capture the essence of the scene.  I am really happy with how it came out.  And it looks even better in person.

Apple Pickin' Time

Apple Pickin' Time

18"x24"

Oil on stretched canvas

$250.00 plus shipping

Lots of fun to paint these apples and leaves.  Used a few different techniques to get the look I wanted.  Painted mostly alla prima, but used additional layers of glazing on the background and leaves to get the shading I was looking for.

It was worth taking the time to do a smaller painting first, which you can see here.

TOBOR

This commissioned painting was a birthday surprise.  The person who commissioned the painting sent me a photo of himself with the dog, but didn't realize that he would be included in the painting.  But who was going to support the dog, I asked?

I would love to do a pet commission for you.  Drop me a note and we can discuss specifics.

Camden Harbor

Camden Harbor

18"x24"

Oil on Canvas Board

Although our cruise last summer did originate out of Camden Harbor, this painting was not part of that trip.  I painted this in 1991 when I first took up painting.  I thought it fit right in with the current group of paintings, however.

Curtis Island Lighthouse

Curtis Island Lighthouse

11"x14"

Oil on canvas panel

Curtis Island Lighthouse is just one of the many lighthouses we saw from the decks of the "Grace Bailey" last August.  I am enjoying painting many of the terrific photos that I took on that trip.  Look for more soon.

Lines Secured

"Lines Secured"

24"x30" on stretched canvas

Oil

Last summer we took a dream vacation on the two masted schooner "Grace Bailey".  I took lots of photos and am now turning many of them into paintings.  On the cruise, the passengers are able to volunteer as part of the crew.  Each morning raising the sails is part of the drill.  Once the sails are raised, the lines need to be coiled and secured for the day.  Raising the sails is hard work, but lots of fun.  Coiling the lines properly also takes a bit of practice. 



Pumpkin Island Lighthouse

This past summer we took a cruise on a two masted schooner from the 1800's.  I took lots of photos.  This painting is of the Pumpkin Island Lighthouse with another schooner passing behind it.

The painting itself is 11"x14", oil on canvas panel.

When I posted the first image above, I thought I was done with this painting.  My husband convinced me that I was not.  I like his suggestions and feel they improved the overall painting.

Tower Hill Pond

Last spring I took a long walk around Tower Hill Pond with my husband.  He took along his fishing rod, I took my camera..  The result, a great memory of that day created in oils.
