Green Harbor Boats

Green Harbor Boats in March - Stage 1


The mouth of the Green Harbor River is lined with marshland, yacht clubs and piers.   The Brant Rock side has a nice dock with benches which is where I set up to paint today.     I was facing south, looking toward Green Harbor (the neighborhood) and the brightest part of the cloudy sky.  







  
Green Harbor Boats in March - Stage 2
A cluster of fishing boats were ebb tide aligned to their moorings.  I am not a huge fan of painting boats. They are difficult because they move constantly - not only radially on their lines, but the tide changes up and down.   Boats that may break the horizon at the start if it's high tide and two hours later they may be much lower, riding the level of the water. No complaints, just a statement. I loved being out there enjoying 40 degrees and a pier that is starting to come to life after a long tough winter.
