Wilson's Cove, Maine

Well its a quarter past midnight on Thursday night/ Friday morning and I've finished this large commission all but the framing. I hope to have that done by breakfast time so Sherry can deliver it to the client and I can go to bed.
The original brief was to go to Maine to paint the family home, but as I spent time with the grandson of the carpenter who built the house for his family, and a whole bunch of other houses in the area, I saw it more as a painting about the builder than about the building. I had the old workshop unpadlocked and I sat in there one afternoon and painted the view from the grandfather's workbench.
The painting is 26 x 11.
