This painting depicts early morning with unsettled skies at beautiful and historic Scituate Light. This portrait style 12x6 inch canvas worked out well for this subject. As I painted a nice couple came over and asked various questions about this painting and painting in general. I forget exactly what statement informed me that they were a "new" couple. He asked me how much I would take for the painting. (The painting was not nearly done and not yet in a state I would want to own up to.)
Now, if you sell paintings you know that an offer like this is a gift on a silver platter. Seldom does a painting sale happen that way. In retrospect, maybe he wanted to impress his new friend with an unusual on-the-spot gift. What did I say? "Let's exchange cards and I will email you." Well you know the ending to that story! hahaha...I probably could use a lesson in sales.
Now on display at Framers' Edge in Braintree, MA.
