Boat and Ladder

At the tip of Rocky Neck in Gloucester, MA I painted at the Gloucester Marine Railways.  Early on I asked if it was ok to paint there, and the gentleman said "ok as long as I didn't fall into the harbor."  I agreed with those conditions.  This boat is the "Rose," which was located at the back of the lot, where I had little chance of falling into the water.  9x12 oil on panel.

Fish Eye View

When in Gloucester, I always visit the Marine Railways shipyard at Rocky Neck.  While there last Sunday, I painted this view of the "Margaret Louise".  You never know what old and new boats will be out of the water to be seen from a fish's perspective.  It's a visually exciting place.  This painting is a 9x12 oil on panel.
