Special times on Nantucket.

I have always known, from the first visit to Nantucket that it would hold more memories and special times for me in my life. Birthdays are special more so now than ever. Today marks 40 years for me and just last year at this time I was on a one day trip to the island with my wife. She was at a job interview at the Nantucket MSPCA. I thought, well over the years I have had the opportunity to bring her along with me and that this time I would tag along and make a one day painting trip out of it. It was a beautiful day, So I ventured around town to see what was going on and stopped in to some of the galleries to say hello and then ran over to Even keel to get an Orange Juice and a muffin. I decided to go down to the wharf to paint. Not many boats in the harbor and the charter sail Endeavor was in her slip. The painting can be found in my earlier posts. Well ,anyway I wish I was there today painting. Today also marks half my life I have had the opportunity to painting scenes of Nantucket and I'm looking forward to many more. I will be posting some of my new paintings in the next few days so check back. Coming soon Sconset Roses and a great painting of the dunes at Steps Beach Nantucket. One of these might make a great gift for the fast approaching holidays for you Nantucket Lovers. I will be painting some smaller paintings over the next few weeks that will also make great Christmas gifts also, I have a new Christmas ornaments I will be releasing of "Holiday Brant Point" on October 27th, Hope you like it! Get one for yourself or give as a gift.
