Brant Point


Brant Point Light. I used to boat out there late in the afternoons, on an incoming tide, and fish for Striped Bass in a big, deep hole right to the right of the lighthouse in this painting. Fishing expedtions were usually short lived due to my lack of patience, and because I always brought a dog, or two, who inevitably tangled themselves in the lines, or would attack the fish before I got them halfway in the boat which would result in a barbed hook causing some bloody mess.

Nantucket



I've had a couple+ people ask me why I don't have any Nantucket paintings up?? This view of beautiful Pocomo is looking east from the lifesaving museum on Polpis Rd. If you kept going to the right you would reach Polpis Harbor where the "chowder hogs" are like cobblestones. I used to sail, at about 6 a.m., up against those white bluffs and, much to my dismay, I would just instinctively know when it was time to head back to the mooring field so I could start the day renting the sailboats instead of sailing them.
