Summer of '14--New Work

Here are a few of my latest paintings from Long Island done this summer.  (See landscapes link for the complete list of images). The weather in late June and early July was generally excellent for painting out of doors.  I've been painting in the East Hampton and Amagansett area for many seasons now, and although it sometimes gets frustrating to find new things to paint, it just takes a bit more digging!  I often look at William Merritt Chase's paintings of Shinnecock for inspiration.  He painted the same terrain over and over with fantastic results.  

'Entrance to 3 Mile' 12" x 16" oil on canvas $1275

'Ocean Glare" 11" x 14"  oil on canvas $1100

'Beach Umbrellas'  10" x 20"  oil on canvas $1300

'Evening Dune'  12" x 16" oil on canvas  $1275

NEW WORK, OLD (but great) PLACES

This a view from the left of the Maidstone cabanas.  I've sketched here many times and am always engaged by the view.  It's truly a "Long Island" spot.  (16" x 20")

Fresh Pond is always an interesting place--lots of different views.  But, it's at it's best early in the day.  (11" x 14")

The fish factory is an iconic image and I have painted it any number of times looking for the right composition.  I really like this view--early in the day.  (12" x 12")

It's hard to resist a good wave!  (8" x 10")

I like the working boat scene in Montauk--But it's hard to find the right spot to set up and paint.  This is a view across a stretch of water.  (8" x 10")

Winter beaches are inviting--no people and pristine air!  (9" x 12")

I've driven by this Amagansett farm a million times, almost always early in the morning either to go painting or get a cup of coffee.  The light is really nice then.  (8" x 12")

This is a path at a wonderful place in Hingham MA called World's End--part of the Trustees of Reservation.  I've kept this quite loose as I just like the feel of the colors and light.  (12" x 12")
