I haven’t been looking at social media much lately. Mostly because it just makes me feel bad. I’ve been busy with a lot of other things and I’m not painting or drawing at all for the last few months. Looking at everybody’s beautiful work is just depressing! The one exception is Substack. An interesting combination of traditional posts and long form writing. Lots of great stuff there on both politics and art. Just beautiful! The pylons make it look like it might be a Venetian scene (since the artist was Italian). But it feels more Asian to me. What do you think? Tenants Harbor, Maine waterfront. When I started painting the tide was low and where you see water now was mostly dry land. It’s amazing how much the tides change. Often I use a phone app called “tides near me” to help me understand how much and in which direction they will move. Souvenir from a lovely spot near Port Clyde, Maine. #stephangiannini 8 x 12“ or 20 x 30 cm, oil. Working waterfront, Friendship, Maine. I worked on this one in the studio a bit. You can look back to the location sketch posted August 16 and see what the original composition looked like. A portrait study that sat on an easel in my studio for most of the summer. An hour here and an hour there and all of a sudden it was a really lot of hours! I’m always so nervous to post portrait work because three months later I usually see some really silly alignment mistake or anatomy mistake. Still hard after many years.
