"Lillies" oil on linen, 8x10. I cannot resist sun shining through petals and leaves!

08.02.2025 00:15 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I love this so much! I’ve always been drawn to abandoned industrial buildings. When I lived in Connecticut, I could roam and explore. In LA now, and can’t do that so much.

Monhegan. I woke early and heard this haunting wailing sound coming from the ocean. It was mysteriousI I was compelled to investigate. As I followed the sounds, I was lead to this beautiful misty sunrise. Oh, turns out the haunting sounds were mating seals.
9x12, oil on Sourcetek linen panel.
Thank you so much!

I also love love love old pick up trucks. The trucks on Monhegan Island are some of the best. Lobster traps, however, are not on my list of favorite things to paint, but they need to be in the painting. This is 9 x12, oil on linen.

This portrait painting is 11x14, oil on linen. I had tried many colors before going with the yellow shirt, afraid it would be too distracting. But I think it looks right.

21.01.2025 21:06 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I first went to Monhegan in the late 90’s. Missed a few years to move to CA and start a family, but manage to trek us all out there. My kids now live the island and ask to go every summer. It’s my favorite place on this planet.
