Tiverton Harbor


I did this picture standing in a church parking lot overlooking the harbor. This year there are practically no power boats and a lot of empty moorings. In past Augusts the place would be packed but every power boat seems to be at the marina wearing a "for sale" sign, a consequence of high fuel prices I am certain. I have wanted to do this view for some time and decided that today was the day. I am beginning to use my palette knife more since I can cover larger areas quickly and then have plenty of paint to move around the way I want to. It was wicked hot from the moment I unpacked my stuff and I think I might use the a/c for the first time in weeks. This painting is 12" square.
