John saw my collection of entering signs at the Art Gallery at Patriot Place and asked if I would paint one of Dennisport where he and his wife have a summer cottage. He also asked that I include their favorite restaurant, The Ocean House, in the background. Looks like a great place to enjoy the ocean breezes and the beautiful sunsets.

It's New England Patriots football season so I thought I'd add a new addition to my Entering signs collection. Theres is a lot of construction going on at Gillette Stadium right now. They are redoing the tower at the entrance (depicted in this painting). It's supposed to have seats up there to view the game-and you would probably get a really great view of the fly over of the fighter jets-also depicted in my painting.
I also included the Pro Shop where you can load up on your Pats gear as well as the Patriots Hall of Fame where you can load up on your Patriots football history knowledge.

A photo taken by Dmitriy Gutarev that I found on pixabay.com inspired this painting. Pixabay is a great resource for artists since it's loaded with great images that are all free to use. I added the Patriot logo to her hat which I thought was a fun touch.
What I loved about painting this was trying to figure out how to use my knives to create the different textures from the wool scarf to the knit hat and the fluffy snow.

Scott saw some of my other Entering signs online and asked if I had ever done one for Charlestown,MA. I hadn't. After a little research, I discovered that Charlestown does not have its own sign since it is considered a "neighborhood" of Boston. After a little more digging, I found that Charlestown had been a town in 1628 before being annexed in to Boston, so I mocked up the sign using 1628 as the date. In the background you can see the Bunker Hill monument as well as the USS Constitution (Old Ironsides) both of which are iconic landmarks in the town.
