I am so excited!! Soon I will be on beautiful Monhegan Island painting with my good friend Kathy Morrissey! We have been trying to organize our schedules so that we could get this thing together.  Finally it is settled and I am looking forward to my stay at the Monhegan House. I am doing something different this time around. I am going to work in watercolors only. I have decided to leave all other mediums back home. I travel light these days. In anticipation of my upcoming trip to the island, I did this painting of Lobster Cove in watercolor.

A few days ago, I saw a video of huge waves on Lobster Cove on Monhegan Island. It made me want to be there. I cannot go right now so I did the next best thing and that was to paint it. Here is a painting I did this afternoon using several old photos as reference. I miss the ocean so much!

Two Painters By the Sea

I have not been posting lately. My life has been so busy and I have been traveling.  I recently returned from a Master Painters workshop with Kim English. He is such a great guy and a phenomenal painter. Unfortunately,  I had an accident on the first morning of the workshop and injured my right index finger and part of my hand. I am still recovering from it, but I am finally able to paint again for a few hours at a time. I had a dream that I was back on Monhegan Island painting by the ocean's edge with a very rough surf. A friend came to visit me and we chatted for a while. Here is a painting that I did from that dream. It's a self portrait entitled "Two Painters By the Sea".
