View From Millie's

This is another Nantucket view but at the west end of the island, in Madaket. It is looking from Madaket Millie's bridge towards Eel Point. I think I snapped a picture one morning as I was delivering kayaks to customers. Madaket Harbor is one of the island's best kept secrets. The waters are tricky with many sandy shoals and the currents can change suddenly, but if you know the waters it can make for terrific boating and fishing. That is why it's mostly only Islanders on the west end waters. 8"x10" oil on canvas. Sold

Nantucket 6 a.m.

This is a painting I did early one morning before I had to go back to rent sail boats and kayaks. Rough life. I was fortunate to live down town on the docks so I would rise early and walk all over town before all the summer people and tourists got up. I would imagine that I was living 40 years back and this was how quiet it was all the time. Nope, only at 6 a.m. in this century. I am looking down Orange Street to Main Street and into Congdon's Pharmacy which still hosts an old fashioned soda fountain with swivel stools, affordable ice cream cones, and frappes. 9"x12" Oil on Canvas.
