Art Events in Rockland...

I’m spending a lot of time painting by the water these days. This is a painting I did last week in Rockport Harbor. I apologize for the glare on the image, but you can get a good idea of the painting. I really like how this painting is balanced, between the boat and the mooring balls on the hillside in the background. There’s also a balance between the shadowy weight of the boat, and the warm light bouncing around on the mooring balls. This painting is 16×20″, oil on canvas.

Also I want to let people know about a lecture series coming up at the Farnsworth Rt Museum in Rockland, that I’m really looking forward to. It’s a weekly series about American Art, starting next Wednesday. There is also a Pecha Kucha night at the Lincoln Street Center for the Arts in Rockland this Friday. Lots to do!

   sigh….the sheer beauty in the ordinary. It’s what you do best, Colin. Your brushwork is unique, too.
   I’m taking all of this to the Everglades tomorrow. If I can do half as well, I’ll be ecstatic!
   You ROCK!

   Collin,
   It’s been great reading your journal lately. Your paintings from Hawaii, you captured the colors and mood of the island. I haven’t seen the LLBean catalog but I will look it up, I’m sure its great. Now Maine mag. Seems as if this is your year..What a great way to start 2010! Since attending your workshop last Sept. I didn’t realize how much I learned from it until I returned. I can’t thank you enough.
