To support an art organization that is very supportive of me I had donated this painting to
Concord Art's silent auction taking place during their
Spring into Art Week May 4th until the 9th, 2019. I am honored to be in the company of some talented artists and teachers.
From Wicked Local Concord:
In the Main Gallery there will be work by faculty artists of Concord Art, including Susan Ahearn, Hannah Bureau, Rick Fox, Nancy Gruskin, Kate Hanlon, Holly Harrison, Susanah Howland, Kathleen Jacobs, Ron Krouk, Emily Passman, Alexandra Sheldon, Stuart Shils and Martha Wakefield.
This painting above is a small 8" x 8 " oil on panel done during the summer of 2017 in Gloucester, MA. The rugged shore, the slip of the blue sea and the unquiet sky are in contrast to the blooming rosa rugosa. It is finished with a black floater frame.
