Once again I had to work fast en plein air – this time I had to finish Low Tide at Littlefield Farm before the incoming tide reached the spot on Mansion Beach where I had set up my easel and transparent watercolors to paint this very early Block Island farm. The original painting was a “half sheet” (15″ x 22″) but I didn’t like all that sand, so I cut the bottom off. I don’t think it needs those extra inches of sand. What do you think?
Because this is one of my favorite paintings, it was years before I could put it up for sale, and then it sold immediately here in Pennsylvania.
