Rainy Cove Island

Rainy Cove Island, 11.25 x 24.5, Gouache and ink on wood, 2009

This is my personal favorite for the show opening next week. It is the piece that set the mood for the rest of my paintings. Again there's metallic rain that shimmers as you view the piece (I can't get enough of shiny paint lately!).

The white tree house in the upper right is one of the more accurate depictions of a tree house that my dad built in an old crab apple tree in the backyard. I hated raking up the crab apples that fell on the grass ever season, but it sure was a fun old tree.
