VIMS, morning in Wachapreague. sold

You'll find several other versions of this scene on this blogspot. The others were done on location, leading to this creation done in the studio. It measures 24 x 30" and show Wachapreague creek looking north at one of the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences waterfront stations. The feeling at this spot is of being on the edge of the continent with the barrier islands on the right, navigated through many serpentine swithcbacks through the salt marsh.

Upper middle branch

This is the largest piece I have completed on location to date measuring 36 x 30". Currently it's at the members exhibition at Salmagundi Club in New York.

Sunrise - Wachapreague 8 x 10 oil on linen sold

Early morning mist hides the sun from the beginning of the day. This is a late summer impression and, I think, captures the simplicity of the scene.

VIMS at Wachapreague sold

On the seaside, at Wachapreague, Virginia Institute for Marine Sciences has this outpost. I like to paint in the early morning and this scene is a typical encounter in these parts.

Sunflowers and eucalyptus. 11 x 14" oil on canvas

Sunflowers and eucalyptus. This was started as a demonstration piece for a workshop I was conducting at my studio and finished shortly thereafter.

Onancock morning October

The earliest of the Paint Onancock plein air pieces
done about 6 am. The fleeting light made it difficult
to capture the true feeling of the sidewalk in the
foreground. I will work on it and show a revised
edition soon.

Dans view sold

This is a 10 am view of Onancock wharf seen from my friend Dans' dock as part of the Paint Onancock event. Rogers' boat is the ketch on the left. This is another milestone for me in capturing the essence of the scene without being too literal.
