From back in September, I painted outside on one of Nova Scotia’s coastal islands

From early in the winter (Christmas Day, to be exact). I love to paint snow outside when winter sunshine lights everything up.

I gather that Friday is #scape day, so here is a small seascape: a wave study from last month. “Golden Wave” 9x12” watercolour. I was exploring the different colours that can be used to portray water

A recent wave study. I love the ocean, love watching waves coming in. I find them endlessly fascinating. So painting them is a real pleasure.

“Evening Light on Water and Stone” 8x10 inch gouache painting done on location

“Spill of Sail” 9x12 inch plein air watercolour

This boat is long abandoned and so its sail is falling in a graceful but most un-shipshape swirl onto the deck.

From mid-spring a couple of years ago. This was a pleinair study of trees weathered and sculpted by coastal weather

I really liked the muted colours of the day and how they made the textures of the trees so evident. That’s what I made the sketch about.

This watercolour painting was delivered to Palm Avenue Fine Arts in Sarasota, FL today. For the Modern Marine Masters exhibition of the American Society of Marine Artists. This is one of two paintings I have in the show.

Adjusting the Lines” 12x16” oil

I loved the play of light through the sail, on the downed sail and on the water.

“Sea Hues Hull” oil, 9x12”
I like (to paint) big boats and I cannot lie

I’m new here. I’m a watercolour and oil painter. Here’s a view from my neck of the woods.
