View From Claudia's Block Island

It was kind of grey and stormy when I started to paint this study from Claudia's upstairs deck...
Link to Claudia's Rental  a spectacular view of the beach and John and Pam's house with the lily pond...it started to rain I had to go inside as the wind was also blowing...I forgot to add the telephone poles until I was reminded by a friend in Missouri ...thanks for that!  oil on canvas 24x36"

Block Island Rain

Standing on the Springhouse Annex Porch just out of the rain...the fog was rolling in and out....quite a nice early summer  day...I liked the green chair and distant town...I thought the porch was going to be all red until I looked up and saw that indeed it was actually the color of rain on a wet red porch...that's what I love about painting....you never now what is there until you try to paint it...24x24"oil on canvas
