Merry Red Christmas

The Red Inn From The Road

8" x 24"

oil with palette knives on Ampersand Gessobord

SOLD

There is nothing more Christmasy than a red inn on the coast. Except of course, if you add some snow.

Those of you who have followed my blog for awhile will recognize this as a familiar painting. This was a commission and the 38th time I've painted this beautiful place in one form or another. But this was a new size canvas for me and I really liked it. 

Happy Christmas to all! I hope Santa brings you everything you wished for.

Entering Boston

Oil with palette knives on Blick Studio Artist Panel

SOLD

I have done many of these Entering signs before for various Cape Cod towns-Provincetown, Truro, and Wellfleet, as well as one for Foxboro. Now it was Boston's turn. I wanted to have this as my anchor piece for the collection of 10 Boston paintings I completed for the Zullo Gallery's holiday sale, 

Here is a photo I took of them all together before I delivered them to Medfield.

While it would be really difficult to hang them on the gallery wall like this, I really liked how they look all together, especially with the different panel depths giving them dimension. As someone on Facebook described it, "I feel like I just took a nice walk through Boston on a clear day." 

I love that!  

The Seaport, Boston

6" x 12"

Oil with palette knives on Ampersand Gessobord

SOLD at Zullo Gallery, Medfield

This was the last of the 10 paintings I completed for the Zullo Gallery holiday show. I struggled with how much detail to put in to the buildings in the background but I think I ended up in a good place. This walk around the Seaport is great to do during your lunch hour on a beautiful sunny day in Boston. The boats coming in and out are fun to watch too.

SOLD at Zullo Gallery, Medfield

I've painted this beautiful brownstone on Beacon Hill many years ago on a much larger canvas (click here to see that version) and I so enjoyed it that I wanted to paint it again smaller for a small works holiday show. There were a lot of windows to paint but the most fun was painting the window boxes with the pretty flowers.
