" Boat Heaven", 11x14, oil on linen

This is one of many paintings that I have done of Monhegan Island, an idyllic little island about 10 miles off the mainland of Maine.

The red house has had a few owners, and each one has modified the home somewhat, making it a little difficult to draw and paint from an architectural standpoint.

It sits at the head of swim beach, directly across from the tiny island of MaƱana. There were many small boats scattered along the beach path on the day that I visited. I loved the way they created a direct path to the couple, who were the secondary point of interest in the painting.

This painting is available through Gallery 444 on Post Street in San Francisco.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
