Half Moon Beach, Stage Fort Park
Gloucester MA
Oil on Canvas, 18 x 24 in

As you can see by scrolling down a bit, this is the third time in recent history I’ve painted more or less the same view. There is something so magical about that water and I have yet to get every gorgeous element I see quite as I’d wish. However, I’m getting there. It was a glorious day to be out painting. People often ask me how long a painting takes. In this case, it was about three hours. The tide had just reversed from high and was rapidly on its way out so as usual, water first! Ten sky, land, rocks.
