"At the Boathouse"

News and Updates

Shifting sand. Luminous waves. Refracted light. Encrusted buoys. Weathered pilings. Lost footprints. The sea sculpts all it touches. My new paintings, recently shown in an exhibit called "Sea Change" at the Elizabeth Moss Gallery in Falmouth, Maine, capture these moments in time before they are swept away, They show the beauty of objects and places brushed and shaped by the sea. They were painted in silence and solitude over the last two years while "sea changes" rocked the world.

Although this particular exhibit is over, many of the paintings can still be seen at the Elizabeth Moss gallery, including"At the Boathouse" shown above and "Ephemeral Splash" shown below. The entire portfolio is on the New Work page.

"Ephemeral Splash"

With many gallery and family obligations this fall, it has been hard to find time to paint large works! So I've started on a series of small plein air seaside paintings, most of them 9" x 12". These will show at a plein air exhibit at my New Hampshire gallery--N. W. Barrett--starting in mid-October. Here's an example called "Of the Sea (2)": Others are posted on the Plein Air Paintings page.
