The town
Posted: August 20, 2016 Filed under: Uncategorized 27 CommentsJust getting round to scanning some of my summer paintings as I prepare for “Art by the Lake”, the outdoor show of the Lakeshore Association of Artists that will take place on September 10 & 11. I painted this in June in Rockport, MA, but with travelling, workshops and family stuff, I haven’t had much time to sit at my scanner.
I love this view of Rockport from Old Harbor Road. You can sit out on a pier and look back at the town that, from that angle, almost seems to be stacked on top of rocks and ladders. Painted on Saunders Waterford CP paper, 15″ x 11″.

Thanks Soni. It’s been a colourful summer (lots of greens in Ireland and all that red brick in Manchester) so looking back, I think this was one of my only grey scenes.

Thanks so much Jeff. It was a composition that I really enjoyed drawing. When I’m in Rockport I have the luxury of time which makes it a pleasure to pick challenging scenes. Hope all is well with you.

This piece is so impressive– as are all of your pieces! This type of scene is really complicated and you’ve managed to simplify it, capture the light, and convey the feel of this coastal town. Beautiful!
