Crocus Bay Boat

Crocus Bay

8 x 10

2006

$225 with mat and frame

Note card $2.50

I think this is the third painting in the Anguilla series. Crocus Bay is where you go to get a boat ride over to Little Bay, another one of my favorite places in the world. This is not the boat that took us. I took the reference photo. I tried to post the paintings, Little Bay and Walk on the Beach but they post sideways. You can see them at my web site gallery.

Katouche Bay

Katouche Bay

11 x 14

2006

Note card: $2.50

This is the second or third painting I did in the Anguilla series. We stayed at a Villa that overlooks this bay. There is a fairly steep goat path leading from the villas down to the sea. This view is from part way down the trail. Very quiet lovely beach with few visitors. This is one of my favorite places in the world. (The photo isn't great and had to be severely cropped because of distortion. I can't take a new photo because the painting is sold.)

Evening in Anguilla

This is the same beach viewed from down on the sand.

Coral Beach

Coral Beach

8 x 10

2006

Note cards: $2.50

This is the first painting from my Anguilla series, which now totals seven. Anguilla is a lovely, small island in the British West Indies, next to St. Maarten. We love Anguilla. I originally called this "Rocky Beach" but it is actually coral. This is a view from Katouche Bay, which is the title of another Anguillan seascape I have done.

2008

I finished this painting today, and submitted it to the Connecticut Watercolor Society 68th Annual Exhibition. I had borrowed Cheetah, a painting owned by my sister-in-law to enter in the show in case I didn't get the lighthouse done in time. Friday I was looking over the entry form and discovered I could enter two paintings. It was a busy weekend, but I squeezed in four or five hours of painting and feel good about entering both paintings. I have a better chance of getting in with two. The opening reception is next Sunday. I hope to be there.

This lighthouse is in Maine and the reference photo was taken by my friend Allan Perrie. He is the same person who took the photo of the Cheetah while on Safari in Tanzania. I will post the cheetah another day. Now that this painting is done I can go back to birds! I have a goldfinch already drawn out and a robin photo I really like. :)
