36×48” acrylic

This modern painting is of a famous lobster hut located near Portsmouth’s bridge in New Hampshire. It you look closely you can see the details of the colorful buoys that are so prevalent in New England. The buoys are painted in a loose brush stroke to show them swaying in the ocean breeze. The air is cold and crisp in the ocean sun.

This group of paintings are influenced by the Ocean Park Series by Diebenkorn. His use of soft color blocks to represent a modern ocean parkway was a direction I took from his work.

When I was eight, our school went to a field trip to Strawbery Banke. I fell in love with it then, the gardens, the crowded turn of the century houses. It was such a beautiful escape. Now I live close by and I paint such an amazing part of Portsmouth.Strawbery Banke is the oldest neighborhood in New Hampshire to be settled by Europeans, and the earliest neighborhood remaining in the present-day city of Portsmouth. It features more than 37 restored buildings built between the 17th and 19th centuries in the Colonial, Georgian and Federal style architectures. The darkest colored house is the oldest house in the group. I have a group of historical areas that I am painting, or known as historical paintings. Look out for more!
