New Paintings – Boats, Birds and Abstracts

I finally quit painting long enough to list a few more on Etsy. I love the direction that some of these have taken. Some days my style is loose and others I find myself mired in meticulous detail…it all depends on what I had for breakfast and the weather I guess. 

Here are nine recent paintings:

“How They Get to the Bigger Boats” – SOLD

I spent some time in Rockport and Gloucester last week with my friend Sarah. It’s hard not to be inspired by the beautiful light and scenery. I took so many photos and this was painted from one of them.

“Her Superpower Was Joy”

Sometimes I just start painting and it doesn’t turn into anything and then I start painting again, erasing the old painting and creating something new just because I find so much joy in the process. This painting is a painting over a painting over a painting and then one day it was finished.

“What The Bird Wove into the Nest” 

I found a bird nest that has this amazing blue ribbon woven into it, along with a small pink thread. It deserved a painting.

“Raven (Party Animal)” – SOLD

My friend Dwayne took a photo of this raven when he reached Alaska last year. It was staring right at him. Such a serious stare deserved a party hat.

“The Jersey Cow” 

I just love cows. I could paint them every day but sometimes I run out of cows to paint. Cows forever.

“The Girl With The Pearl Earring” 

I used to try and recreate old masterpieces as practice. The last time I painted one on a large scale was in 2001 when I painted a mural of Klimt’s The Kiss on our townhouse wall. We moved soon afterwards but it did help sell the house. I wonder if it’s still there. At least this one is portable.

“Quiet Places” 

“I have a need in me for quiet spaces / for sandy headlands and the tranquil sea / the far dim arc where the horizon traces / the blend of finite with infinity.” -author unknown

“Mockingbird (Party Animal)” 

I always love painting birds. This oversized mockingbird needed some vibrant color so I added the festive bunting behind.
