Bird on a Boat

 

8 x 10 inches - oil on hardboard - I suspect that the poop deck will have to be cleaned.

Returning to Harbour

9 x 12 inches - oil on mounted linen. Here comes the fishing boat from picking up traps in early morning. 
 

Low Tide

9 x 12 inches - oil on hardboard - This little boat waits in the mud for the tide to rise so it can go out fishing again.

Lupins and Boat

6 x 8 inches - oil on gessoboard - I am fairly sure that the people in little place that I found this planted this scene to attract tourists but it was attractive nonetheless.

Bankers Joy

6 x 8 inches - Oil on Gessoboard - I like the ambiguity of this.  Is this the banker in his boat on holiday? Is the boat owned mostly by the bank and this is a comment by the captain? Is there a totally different reason for the boat's name that we are not aware of?

Drydock

8 x 10 inches - oil on gessoboard - Now that the hull is out of the water, you have a chance to look around and make a few repairs.

Working on the Net

6 x 8 inches - oil on gessoboard - I have much respect for fishermen who have to keep their nets sorted and in working condition in all kinds of weather. It must not be a very lucrative job so they must love to do it. I respect that too.

Boat by the Cliff

8 x 10 inches - oil on gessoboard -

Dinner Cruise

6 x 8 inches - oil on gessoboard - I am not even sure this was a dinner cruise but its from a photo I took in Key Largo of tourists getting taken out where they could best see the sunset. The image brings back the time and place for me, which I guess it is all about.

John's Boat

16 x 20 inches - oil on stretched canvas - John regularly rows his boat out on the water for exercise. I think he also does it to be on the lake.

Tied To The Dock

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard  After a day at sea it is time to tie up to the dock and enjoy the sunset.

Peterborough Marina

6 x 6 inches, oil on gessoboard - The Trent Canal goes through the city of Peterborough where I live. This is the marina downtown, and is a busy place in the summer.

Safe Harbour

5 x 7 inches, oil on gessoboard - I should paint more scenes from the east coast since I have some history there. This is from a photo that I took some years ago, I think its in New Brunswick.

Coming Up for Repairs

Oil on canvas board 6 x 8 - Argh! Note to self - Keep it Simple.
