The Harbor

New painting! In fact it is still quite damp… This is from an image I saw several weeks ago. In real life the bay was not nearly as interesting, it was a flat grey day with this random ray of light. The light is what I was after.

The bay is different each and every time I see it. Within an hour the light, the waves, the tide, everything changes. I could spend the rest of my life just watching the light change out there.

With this piece I was trying to capture a sense of longing and isolation I felt when I saw these boats looking towards the far horizon.

“The Harbor” is 24×36, oil on canvas, and is for sale for $795.
