| "Newburyport
Sunrise" 36" x

Oil on Linen
This was one of those
paintings that didn't come easy. After working on it for several
weeks, I decided that it just didn't work. I washed it off and
left it on the easel until I could figured out what I would use
the canvas for. When my wife discovered that I had washed it
off, she insisted that I try it again because it had such great
potential. So instead of starting a completely new painting, I
started again but this time working dark into light instead of
light into dark as I had done the first time around.
Now we're both happy with the
results. Let me know what you think.
