This is a scene from a harbor near Rockport Mass.  I like to return to that area at least every other year.  It has so many paintable areas that almost every landscape painter of note has painted there.   Rockport itself is a beautiful little town renowned for it's artists.  I've been there so many times it feels like a second home to me, now.  Maybe this fall, if I'm lucky,  I can go again.           Mike

Off for the Day

This is a scene near Rockport, Mass. one of my favorite towns.    That day, I was traveling with old friends from California., Joyce Pike and her husband, Bob.   Joyce is very well known,  primarily for her books on floral and still life painting.  She is also a spectacular cook, seamstress, and porcelain painter.  
As you may notice,  I am continuing to show work that has been sold, in addition to available ones.   That's because I only produce a couple of paintings a week and have to supply my galleries,etc.  And, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I tend to be a little lazy.         Mike

This is a small painting of a scene in Morro Bay, Ca. painted on a Wednesday outing with the Irregulars.  A typical beautiful day.  Art, who was the lodestone of the group when we first started, owns the piece.  Below is a photo of Art as he typically looks on an outing.  Isn't this the way an artist should look?       Mike
