Not me, it's the title of a new painting. "Washed Up," 11"x14" oil on canvas panel. A beautiful driftwood log had washed up this year at Hadlock Cove and appears to now be holding back the beach. Tried to loosen up my style a little and go for something more abstract. Done totally with palette knife and a ton of paint. Need to get more comfortable with being left handed and using the palette knife. Found it difficult, those times that I had to shift holding the knife from my dominant hand to apply the paint.
In other news, I am readying my NH house for sale so that I can move permanently to the cottage on Peaks Island, ME. Lots of work downsizing as both houses are furnished to a degree, so choices will have to be made. Can't wait till my studio is on the island. Currently, I am working in acrylics on the island and oils at home in NH.
In other news, I have had four paintings chosen for the "Paintings in Oils", May group exhibit at the Richard Boyd Art Gallery on Peaks Island. More on that exhibit when I have more information.
