Throughout this past month, I’ve completed a number of new seascapes, many of which are now on exhibit at Sheldon Fine Art in Newport RI. In addition, I finally completed "Peace at Dawn", now shown on my "New Pieces" page. Another very long project completed in August is the painting "November Light". After two years, and letting the piece sit for long periods while working through other paintings, I was beginning to doubt I’d ever complete it ….. but its finally done and I hope to get it posted among my many other new paintings for this past month. Currently, I’m working on a larger seascape, a small wave study, and a 24x48 mountain stream.
My main project this month is a painting of Grey Towers. Built by Gifford Pinchot, the first head of the U.S. Forestry Service under Theodore Roosevelt, the estate is now owned by the Forestry Service and considered by many to be it’s birth place. This September will mark 50 years since the estate and mansion were deeded to the Forestry Service, and dedicated as a historic site by President John F. Kennedy. The painting is in honor of this event, to be celebrated at Grey Towers on September 21st.
