Boat at Hampton

I am daydreaming a lot these days of warm summer days. Yesterday, I looked at a group of paintings I did during the summer and fall. Some of them were studio pieces and many of them are plein air work that I never got around to photographing. This was one of them. I painted this scene at the end of the street on the bay at Hampton this past summer. There was not much inspiring me that day and then I looked out at this grassy area and spotted this lovely boat just waited there. The light was just beautiful and it made the boat almost glow.

  2. Really nice painting. I can't wait to get outside, again. Do you want to meet for some plein air painting as soon as it warms up?

  3. Thanks Virginia and Karen! I am wishing for summer to hurry up and get here too! Karen, I would love to meet you for some plein air painting! It's hard to imagine (looking out at the weather this morning) that it will ever warm up. I can't wait to get outside and paint.
