The Cohasset Sailing center was one of several venues populated by artists from north and south of Boston as the North Shore Arts Association artists journeyed down to meet a number of our South Shore Artists, a sequel to last summer's get together when South traveled to the North. The air was sparkling, breeze blowing, harbor filled with activity, while shoreline filled with artists. I was struck by the cupola on the Sailing Center against the bluest of blue skies, and decided to paint through the building to the harbor beyond. It was an interesting brain-bender, and loads of fun. I painted over an old still life, and loved the variety of colors underneath as my painting emerged.
The very generous and hospitable North Shore Arts Association invited the artists from the South Shore of Boston to visit them this week. Thirty-two of us rented a bus and took a road trip up to Gloucester to paint on Rocky Neck. We had a wonderful time. The event was well-organized, the bus ride was great fun, and we painted between rain showers and downpours; then met back at NSAA for a reception and a chance to view everyone's work.
I'll post my oil painting later, but had a chance to do some sketching back on the NSAA grounds. Here's the beautiful Association galleries with our bus out front. What a great day.
July 11th update: Nice to see my image on the NSAA blog today.
Thanks for looking.
