last painting of 2007



Marakanda, 2007
20" x 40"
oil on canvas

This work was commissioned for the owners of a beach house where we stayed during this past summer. The image is of the house that sits right next to the inlet in Surry, Maine. It's got a huge private beach and is one of the most beautiful places we've ever visited. In the background are the mountain peaks of Acadia National Park. The house itself is named Marakanda so I ended up creating the house with the structure of the letter M. Several smaller sketches were made during that trip. This painting is a larger version of one of those sketches.
