Although my painting has focused on commissioned work this past month, I explored the effects of bright morning light through a breaking wave. This study was completed on 24x48 stretched canvas and is now on exhibit at Sheldon Fine Art in Newport RI for the holidays. In addition, I have 3 other seascapes underway as well as a snow scene. Even though I look forward to the inspiration of fresh snowfalls, an art trip to Newport RI this month has filled my mind with more ideas from the rocky coastline.
I saw a couple originals of the 19th century artist William Trost Richards at a Newport art museum. These paintings were new to me and I was driven to revisit the site of Richards’ coastal home at Ft. Wetherhill State Park, RI. The rock formations here inspired a wealth of his paintings and I too find them fascinating. I anticipate a lot of sketching ahead from this location.
With the re-opening of the Shawnee Gallery in Water Gap PA, I have placed a collection of my landscapes there on exhibit. This includes limited edition prints of the Delaware Water Gap area. More of my Pennsylvania landscapes can also be viewed at the Morgan Gallery in Blakeslee, PA.
