Great Bay Art Show/my two paintings




















As I stated yesterday, I didn't have time to photograph my paintings which I put into the Great Bay Art Show. One of the paintings sold so I went down to the gallery today and photographed my two paintings for my records. The first painting is an 11 by 14 acrylic of the Great Bay Salt Marsh. The "Salt Marsh" painting photographed considerably darker than actual painting. The second painting is titled "Lanteen on the Esturary" which is an 8 by 10 inch acrylic on stretched canvas (sold). We do have a large historic lanteen sail that will appear on the Great Bay on rare occassions. It is a recreated gundalow, which was a sail powered barge carrying cargo up and down the local rivers and bays in the 1700 and 1800s.

Salt Marsh, another view



The last image of the salt marsh on the Great Bay in New Hampshire, didn't actually show any of the Great Bay. This was a pastel painting that was completed a couple of years ago. It was late fall and there were still leaves on the trees but they had been thinned considerably.
The painting has been sold.

The Boardwalk



In Stratham, NH is the Great Bay Science Center. From outside their backdoor there is a wonderful walk through the woods onto a boardwalk that takes you on a mile long walk through the salt marsh on the Great Bay. It is a delightful nature walk and often bird watchers will set on some of the benches there and watch birds by the hour. Every year the science center has an art show and sale of art featuring the great. This was my entry last year it. I had many favorable comments that seemed sincere and not gratuitous but unfortunately it went unsold. It is depicting a autumn evening on a less open section of the boardwalk. Anyway, I liked the painting.
The painting is an 16 by 20 inch acrylic and if anyone is interested, it is availabe to anyone in the US and Canada for $200 plus $30 shipping and insurance. The painting is framed and will be shipped framed. Credit card payment can be made through paypal even if not a member of paypal.
