“Gloucester Harbor”

A scene overlooking Gloucester Harbor and town rooftops, in blues, pinks and yellows. This is a personal favorite, and hard won. Wow!, how windy and cold it was on that exposed hill. I was excited enough by the beautiful scene and the great early-morning light, though, so that it was a great painting experience. My normally sturdy easel very inexplicably suddenly collapsed in the midst of doing this painting, making for quite a mess of paint and solvent spattered about. My local artist friend explained that this hill is known to be haunted. Considering my easel hasn't acted like that before or since, perhaps it's true!
