Several new paintings from recent months

The most recent works cover some thoughts based on the North Carolina trip a year ago and also on bouquets for special occasions. The first one came from a slow boat ride past a park bench on a dock bathed in sunshine. I called it Afternoon Delight. The second was inspired by a little white dock contrasting with the autumn colors. I added a young boy fishing (Playin' Hooky) to provide a little whimsy.

The florals, Happy Anniversary and Mothers Day, were intended to prolong the special feelings stirred by gifts of flowers.


These four, along with Vineyard Parking, are currently on display at the Plantation Artists' Guild and Gallery here on Amelia Island. The last one mentioned is based on a photo I took from the ferry coming in to Martha's Vineyard. I liked the composition of numerous boats in front of the New England shingled houses amongst the trees.
