"Tug at your Heartstrings" SOLD Original The delightful coastal oil painting was inspired by the docks in Portsmouth, New Hampshire where you can find Moran tugboats.  I like to do research on my subject matter, and I especially needed to do that regarding this subject matter.  I found out that many tug boat workers have lost their lives when rescuing ships and boats.  In my research, I came across a story narrated by Tom Hanks about how the tugboat and other boat operators rescued 300,000-500,000 people off Manhattan Island during 9/11.  I was amazed that I had never heard of their heroic efforts.  If you would like to read more about the rescue and to see the short film narrated by Tom Hanks, go to this link:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eddie-rosenstein/tom-hanks-narrates-boatlift_b_956529.html It is truly an unforgettable film that will show how Americans pull together in times of need.  It was heartwarming to see the ...

Jupiter Lighthouse River Rendezvous Event  The Jupiter Lighthouse and museum hosted a celebration and fundraising event with great food and live jazz music!  A silent auction helped to raise funds for educational programs at the Jupiter Lighthouse.  People lined up for hours to get the new book, "A Trip Down the Loxahatchee" by James (Jim) Snyder who signed each one! The book also serves to bring awareness to the Loxahatchee River and the preservation of  the river and all the marshlands and waterways surround it.  I was honored to be one of nine artists who were selected to exhibit their artwork that night.  I was on cloud nine to have two paintings in the book and to be at this event.  The book features over 150 paintings by 52 Florida artists.  It is a lovely coffee table book that is a must have!  It was truly a magical night!

Portsmouth New Hampshire Lighthouse Oil Painting "The Guide"  Original In Private Collection I find lighthouses so enchanting.  When I was painting this lighthouse, I thought of the Bible verse,  I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. Psalm 32:8 NLT.    These beacons stand tall and proud along the coastlines guiding boats and ships into safe harbors.  Each  lighthouse is so unique and usually accompanied by the lighthouse keepers home.   I've seen many along the West coast of the United States and would like to visit and paint all of them.  The  Lighthouse in Portsmouth, NH is said to be haunted!  I find the history of each of the lighthouses so interesting.  Lighthouses are truly treasures to be enjoyed!
