Homage to New Hampshire

Oil on hardboard
7x5"
This is a painting of items I collected in New Hampshire this past summer. My sister in law gave me the turkey feather, flocks of wild turkeys are often seen wandering about. The tea cup came from a gift shop in Wolfeboro and the rocks from Lake Winnepeasake.

Blue bottle with Scarlet Ibis feather

Oil on canvas board
4x6"
I found the feather while visiting the aquarium in Baltimore. They have a Scarlet Ibis in the tropical room and when I saw the feather laying on the ground I knew I wanted to incorporate it into a painting.

Conch shell

Oil on canvas board
I collected a bag full of conch shells when visiting Naples, Fl this past spring. They were scattered everywhere along the beach. Occasionally, I would find one with an inhabitant...those made their way back into the gulf.
