“Boot Cove – Lubec (Winter)” (2023)
Mixed Media (Acrylic & Gouache)
12″ x 16″
One of the things that attracts me about where I live is the icy North Atlantic and the majestic cliffs of Maine’s Downeast coast. In this painting, I wanted to evoke the icy waters bashing the ancient rock which I attempted to do by using only a palette knife and building paint layers as they dried.

“The monk should shut all the gates of his soul, that is, the senses, so that he is not lured astray. When the intellect sees that it is not dominated by anything, it prepares itself for immortality, gathering its senses together and forming them into one body.” – St. Isaiah, The Philokalia
