How I love being an artist ! I sketched this sailboat where she was in for repairs at a yard down in Cape May, New Jersey, yet loved the look of these houses on the water. So I re-sketched the boat to be across from the houses and closer to the water (where it would never be in real life), and made everything into one painting. “Boat Repair” is with a Private Collector on Long Beach Island.

“Caribbean Reverie” sold immediately from a Gallery on LBI to a lovely New Yorker. I painted this transparent watercolor in my studio right after I returned from the Caribbean and could still remember the soft breezes and sense of stillness and peace I felt when I glimpsed this beautiful girl sitting on her veranda.

This was my first watercolor. Eight of us had rented a cottage in Cape May and on our first day out, someone said, “Let’s eat!” The other painters quickly packed up their watercolors, piled into their cars and went off safari style in search of food. I, the only oil painter, struggled with rags, turpentine and wet canvases, and by the time I was packed up and in my car, they were nowhere in sight. I went back to the cottage by myself to await the magic hour of four in the afternoon when we had arranged to meet, no matter where we had painted that day, at the little shop that sold homemade ice cream. That night, Phil gave me a half sheet of cold press watercolor paper (15″ x 22″), three watercolor sable brushes of various sizes, a huge Hake brush, and a palette filled with incredible, brilliant colors. Two Boys Two Kites was created the next day. For years we painted in Cape May, and every day that we painted, we met at 4 o’clock for ice-cream.
