No. 1 in Sepias and Blues

May 2006

20" x 24", plus "a la Pleine Aire" Gold Frame, oil on canvass;

$2,000

Rockport Harbor painted in the Dutch School's method of first establishing a sepia underpainting, then laying in the colors and opaque paint into the underpainting, but also with a Whistler influence showing in the color transparencies and glazing techniques and use of blues.  A very wide palette of blues is employed in this painting with the emphasis on the reflections of the boats and landscape in the water.  The low afternoon sun brightens the whites of the backsides of the cabins of the lobster boats.
