Chipmunk

Captured this little fellow by luring him with sunflower seeds one summer afternoon.  With a tripod and zoom lense, I got a few good shots.  Have wanted to paint him for sometime.

Wolf

$100

This painting of a wolf was done in 1991, but it stands the test of time.  The actual painting a bit lighter than the photo shows.

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.
