Oil on Canvas, 18 x 24 in
(sold)

I had gone to The Old Granite Pier in Rockport last Tuesday to paint, but I was not – it was just not working for me that day. I spent hours and used a lot of paint, and at the end of the day I scraped it all off the canvas in disdain. I do not believe in wasting paint, especially not my favorite new paint – so I decided to look for a photo in my midst that would work tonally with the paint I needed to recycle. I came across one from this past summer of a loon, and worked from it. I will retake this photo in better light.
