In the background of this colorful piece sits the Tarr & Wonson Paint Factory in Gloucester MA. The factory began manufacturing copper paint for ship bottoms in 1863. The paint was developed to aid the maritime industry. Ships hulls fouled in about six weeks and had to be scrapped, with this new product the vessels could operate for twelve months without issue. The factory operated for over 100 years, closing in 1980. The commercial fishing boat passing by is named "Sarah" from the bible. Original artwork is a soft pastel on a prepared hardboard panel.

'Life is a carnival' that is what my friend Jeff has always told me... and I'm starting to believe him! Between life and growing up right smack dab in the middle of ole Abraham Lincoln's stomping grounds, I have never had the shortage of ideas for artwork. 'Whimsical' is what I most often hear as a description of my work. I honestly don't know where it comes from...though I grew up on a farm where there was no shortage of work or discipline (if you know what I mean). Maybe that 'whimsy' comes out of there. Only God knows. All I know for sure is that I do what makes me happy. I was very fortunate to have been able to call the late George Colin a friend & neighbor for many years. George was an outsider artist that sold fantastic painted wooden creations from his yard, but it was his vividly colored pastels that were his claim to fame. George's use of bold shapes & colors captured my imagination early on and I have implemented that narrative into my work for many years.
