The Whalers and A Mermaid
 |
| Beautiful Gold leafed frame |
This is an acrylic on paper technique painting. I distressed the surface to slightly mimic the idea of it being a fresco. It really has that look up and close.
 |
| Can you see the spackled qualities? |
I named this painting "The Whalers". Truth be told, I include that little title in nearly all of my whaling scenes and have for the last 20 years that I have painted them. I love the long skinny feel of this painting and think that this would look fabulous on a dresser drawer. Years ago, I painted landscapes on a dresser. There were four drawers total (I think), and each one had a different landscape.

This is a relatively small painting compared to what I usually do, but I really loved the old frame.

I love the rich blues that are in each of these paintings. If you know or have collected my work, most of the paintings hang well together. I tend to use the same color palette.

| Mermaid painting is called "She was the apple of his Eye" |
This photograph gives you an idea of the scale of this piece. You can see that it's not very large, but it is really sweet and I love the colors.
These paintings will be available at the Wilton Show in Wilton, CT. on November 6-8, 2015. I don't have as much work as I sometime show, but each painting is really carefully done and I think it will be a good show.
Thanks for looking!
