The Lazy Artists Guide to Finishing Professional Quality Frames

Many people have complimented me on my frames, and were surprised that I was finishing them myself.

Painting in Portland, Maine. Lots of great stuff down by the industrial ports. The ship is the Yasa Swan, which transports chemicals. Registered in the Marshall islands. Cargo ships often register in countries where there is the least amount of regulation, so they can avoid the more stringent laws found in more advanced countries. For many of the smaller countries it’s just a money making scheme. 8 x 12” or 20 x 30 cm, oil.#pleinairpainting #yasaswan #marineart #cargoship #portlandshipyard

Really zooming in on the center of interest here. I love the shapes of the rooftops and utility poles. I suppose the composition is to odd? The church has been converted into the Wyeth center, where the Wyeth family has donated many paintings. I used a long pointy brush called a rigger to do the wires in one stroke. Sometimes I screw them up, and then I have to scrape them down and repaint everything underneath it. All part of the fun, ha ha! 8 x 10” or 20 x 25 cm, oil. #pleinairpainting #farnsworthmuseum #utilitypole #churchpainting

Citgo station⛽️. Knight’s Marine, Rockland, Maine. Apparently a working gas station for the boats! The painting got a little washed out because I was shooting a bit into the Sun and I think my lens was Dusty. I'll post a better shot of it once I work on it in the studio a bit.

The edge of a lobster 🦞 pound. There were huge refrigerated trucks full of lobsters🦞🦞🦞 to my right. This is the north east coast of Maine, with Canada in the background across the the Bay of Fundy. 9 x 8” or 24 x 21 cm, oil.#pleinairpainting #lobster##inlandlobster #lobsterpound#bayoffundy
