"Dinghies" - SOLD


6x6" oil on Gessobord

These are lobster dinghies on Monhegan Island. What attracted me to them was the interesting shadows and the strong abstract shapes. I think it was Emile Gruppe who wrote that it was a challenge getting red into a landscape painting. There are lots of blues and greens mostly. In this painting I did my initial sketch in a reddish color and let a little peek through.
