5x7" Acrylic on CanvasThis small fishing village is filled with history and countless Sea Stories. Painting this beautiful weathered shack sent me drifting back to my first attempts at portraying wood and my love of Fisherman.
DAD FISHING AT NIGHT 1992
Watercolor On Paper 21x27"?The fishing/crab season begins for me soon, so I'll be spending 12 hours a night visiting the same time clock , seven days a week for the next few months until the circus leaves town. My post will become much less frequent but I will be thinking of you all.

Amazing, I really like that effect of torchlight rays - Never tried that before- brilliant!
What a detailed work this is! I can't believe you put all these in 5x7. Wonderful job on every element. I also love your watercolor of your dad. Did you used to accompany him in his night fishing trips?
Adebanji, I like how people in the UK call it a torchlight. Give it a try sometime. More importantly, Congragulations to you and your wife on the birth of your new baby girl. She is beautiful!!!
Akiko my loyal friend, Thank you!
I did use to go fishing with my dad at night. That painting was done the old fashion way, I sketched him at night and jotted down some notes on color and went back home to do a larger version. I can still remember how cold we both were. Incidentally the wood in that painting is imaginary. I had just read a watercolor instruction guide on how to paint wood in my high school library and wanted to give it a try. I think that was the last instruction book I ever read.
Both are beautiful Alice . You have such a richness in your work. I like the new look for your blog.
