'Bluenose offPeggy's Cove, NS" This view from one ofthe most beautifitl and wild places on Nova Scotia's east coast captivated me as my wife and I visited with good friends for the gathering oftall ships in Halifax, where we also attended the reunion of old Boun ry crew. Oil on canvas, 18 x 24 inches.
"One City" cover art for the CD ofthe same title produced to benefit victims ofthe World Trade Center disaster. I was asked to do this cover art with the challenge ofshowing New York and Boston as sister cities connected by the events of September 11. All the musicians are from Afassachusetts, and all proceeds, including the auctioning of the painting, will benefit the September 11 fimd. We decided to show Manhattan, with the Twin Towers, connected by a violin "bridge" to the city ofBoston. The Statue ofLiberty represents ourfreedoms, and USS Consri rnrion stands for our strength as a nation. As this painting is a gift from the people of Boston, I was honored to be asked to create it. Oil on canvas, 22 x 36". The "One City" CD can be purchased at www.bacbeat.org or by phoning 617-450-9583.
"Sail Boston: July 2000 - A View from Union Wharf" This painting is one I loved working on, as it is a view that I witnessed from the third floor ofjohn Stobart's townhouse. Without the usual generosity and kindness ofjohn and his aide Sandra Heaphy, this painting never would have seen the light of day. Although all ofthe ships in the painting did indeed parade into the harbor, they did not sail in the order shown. I wanted to show ships from four time periods to give a sense ofthe variety of craft that enlivened our harbor on that glorious day. Oil on canvas, 24 x 40 inches.
