8 x 10 oil on stretched canvas

Another painting of York, ME. This painting takes me back to the countless days spent in this beautiful harbor, sailing, rowing, or simply puttering about. In the heat of August in upstate NY, the cold Maine waters look refreshing and perfect for a chilling dip. In the coming summers we are looking forward to more time spent near and on the water.

Here's a scene from last summer's visit to Nantucket. With spring working hard to make it to upstate NY, it is a treat to remember summer. I have several paintings I will be posting soon.

Signal Flags

Quiet Day on the Water

11 x 14 oil on panel

Another painting of a sailboat to remind me of summer as winter settles in here in France.

Yellow Buoy

6 x 6 oil on panel

This buoy was spotted on the way out of Nantucket this summer. A yellow buoy is considered a special purpose marker and indicates that you should take caution (it often marks a pipeline, or something similar). I love the contrast of the yellow and oranges with the blues.

Marseille

6 x 6 oil on panel

We spotted this beautiful sailboat tied up in the harbor in Marseille last weekend. Despite the cold, rainy weather the harbor was beautiful and the end of the day light made soft reflections on the water.

Schooner

This schooner was sighted during a trip several years ago outside Victoria, British Columbia. It was sailing as a part of the tall ships parade with several other vessels. We sailed by just long enough to see the boats under sail.

We took my 2 year old twins sailing for the first time in this beautiful boat. This Herreshoff belongs to a family friend and spends its summers on Cape Cod. I forgot how much I enjoy painting the water and boats!
