Serene Harbor

Along the docks near Front Street in Scituate, MA the scenes are as picturesque as you will find anywhere.  This end of the waterfront has become a popular spot for people feeding the ducks and seagulls.    In fact, it is so popular - my own opinion - that the birds were only mildly interested with each new human duck feeder.  Perhaps they were full from this easy, all day eating?

So it was a very pleasant paint out.   My husband set up and painted as well - double bonus.  He tackled the view facing west, back toward the bank and church steeple, a fine painting with final touches still in the works.

My scene was comprised of the fishing boat docks along this southernmost end of the inner harbor.  There were several fishing boats here and the trees and houses in the distance you may recognize as Second Cliff.

Of course it wouldn't be authentic unless there were a handful of ducks wading around!
