This is another image from one of the greatest days of my life. My wife and I rented a little Boston Whaler speed boat and cruised around Southwest Harbor and Somes Sound in Main. We docked on Sutton Island (the source of this image) and explored on foot. We found a lady selling sea glass mobiles made from local sea glass and tied together with string from her dad's old lobster traps. I've thought about this painting for a long time, and I think it turned out well.

This is why I'm grateful to have an artist's vision. It had never occurred to me to paint this arrangement until I saw that little greenish strip of light above the inner door. That's the fading light of evening in my bedroom contrasted against the warmer light (yellowish patch), that shines through my studio window. When I saw it, I had to paint it. This is another one that looks better in person - something about it really appeals to me.

More family heirlooms - my mom's depression glass pitcher that my sister kindly let me borrow. I'll give it back soon!

Painting family heirlooms, particularly kitchen utensils or vintage containers would be an interesting painting niche, I think.  This was my mom's old vinegar decanter.

I wouldn't call the time spent making this painting serene.  It was an awkward location on an uneven bank and a wall of clouds rolled in shortly after I began painting, only to roll out toward the end of painting. The changing light threw off my values.  This is the shore of Seneca Lake, one of the Finger Lakes in upstate NY.
