Photo Studio Pics




Jennifer Harris took these photos of me in her new house.  She didn't want nail holes in the house's new walls, so this is me trying to hold up an oil painting without nails :)

Morgaine

I painted this watercolor while staying in the marina in Solomons Island, MD. It's a sketch of my dinghy, Morgaine. We towed her behind Ca Ira when we went cruising for a week. I built Morgaine 10 years ago, in the summers while I was in college. I named her after the character in "The Mists of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

Solomons


I painted this in the marina in Solomon's Island, Maryland where we spent one night of our cruise. It's the view looking out of the harbor at the mouth of the Patuxent River.
