Fish Shack, Motif No. 1, Rockport, Massachusetts
This little scene is the iconic Motif No. 1 on Bradley Wharf in Rockport. It really needs no introduction. Its been painted by thousands of artists and holds the distinction of being the most photographed building in the world (so I am told). We visited Rockport in May after my daughter graduated from Tufts. I…

Bearskin Neck, Rockport
It’s not Motif No. 1 but its another view across the Harbor and right beside the pier with that iconic fish shack! This painting depicts the harbor at low tide and is a great place to paint. I decided I didnt want to include Motif No. 1 in this view. I’ll post a couple of…

MC Escher made a lithograph of Atrani in 1931. My painting is a view from a lower angle than his print and is not an accurate representation of the town.

I simplified the houses and didn’t pay much attention to perspective. I focused on color and a stylized image. I wasn’t thinking of Fauvism when I painted it but it is the…

Harbor Nocturne
The inspiration for this painting came from a few photos I’ve taken in Camden Maine and Nantucket. Its a compilation of a twilight harbor scene with intense light red and deep blues just before sunset. I made a number of changes during the painting process before settling on the final. I set it aside or…
