Stormy Weather

"Nor'easter", 30" x 40", oil on canvas with found objects.

Only fitting that objects that got washed around in the North Atlantic should end up as part of a piece called "Nor'easter", just a nautical sounding name for a storm driven by a northeast wind. We get them too in Virginia, but for me the name evokes New England, which is where I found all these now attached pieces.

  1. Being of New England origin myself, I really like how you incorporated these pieces. I find the composition to be quite original and it works too.

  2. Thank you Kim! It took me a while to decide this was finished but it's growing on me. Did you recognize the lobster trap parts?

  3. Oh, There they are! I'll have to show you some of the wads of lobster trappings I found. I didn't bring them home though and had to be satisfied with the photo.
