A Bueatiful Day, the Great Marsh
A Beautiful Day, the Great Marsh
"A Beautiful Day, the Great Marsh", is a painting of an old beloved
subject.
I spend almost every day hiking on the great marsh near my home in
Ipswich, Massachusetts. I don't have one photo of these areas and the
ancient islands on them. I have thousands of images from decades of
walks and plien air sessions and the mental camera all artist have in
their heads.
When I began this painting a year ago, the composition was
very different.
As with most of my paintings, I get to a point and put them aside. A
painting can go through numerous stages. This one did, for months.
Finally, I had a memory of days when the clouds were large, massive and
slow moving over the marsh. In my mind's picture, those long shadows
drifted across the wide marsh and over my favorite island.
"Click" my mental camera snapped the image. But, then I had to make
that happen on canvas. Working on the piece, I took "Artist's license"
editing out other islands and moved them far off in the distance. My
goal was to give this one ancient island, left millions of years ago by
the gigantic melting glaciers, the central part in the on-going
timeless drama of its quiet, graceful life.
I hope you like it. I would love to know your thoughts. It is available
for purchase. BTW, the painting changes as the sun changes through out
the day. If you have an interest, please contact me for its price:

"Day hike" is an example of the marsh world I love. If you've ever look
across a river to a marsh island and wondered what it is like to walk
on, here you are. Take a walk on this trail. Its one that wildlife,
clammers, hunters, birders and people who just love nature wore deep.
"Day hike" is available for purchase. Please contact me.
"Gone Fishing" comes from historic Lanes Cove, Gloucester,
Massachusetts. With hundreds of years of fishing, this lone skiff like
hundreds before it, sitting in a brief, calm, windless moment seemed to
belie the tumultuous history, riotous, hard and calm of this hundreds
year old small harbor.
"Gone Fishing" is available for purchase. Please contact me.
