Last winter painted as much as possible while spending over half my time on the road and on mountains skiing and ski racing.  But there was no better way to unwind than to paint and I turned out a couple of paintings every month.....many more were attempted, but few survived.  Here are some of my favorites. This one is from a Fall 2013 visit to Monet's house in Giverney, France.  This is on his waterway which he had diverted from the river Seine which flows nearby.  His actual boat, used for many of his works is still on the stream and I took many photos of it and this is my representation of Monet's boat. 

This is a painting emphasizing the morning light hitting on a neighborhood in Gloucester called the "Fort".  This is an area in transition as fishing is being phased out....but the old wharfs, commercial buildings and high landscape give a uniqueness that is very charming.  This painting is a representation of sunset at the ferry dock at Islesboro Island Maine.  The sunsets are spectacular and right across the bay lies Camden harbor.

A scene in Maine with a typical large sailing ship (windjammer) passing by on a warm summer day.  Fascinating Islesboro Maine island house with multiple roofs (or is it rooves?).
