Hi and Happy New Year!! Here is my latest painting "<i>Mackworth Island Circa 1835</i>". <span style="color: white;"><span style="color: black;">This harbor scene is named for one of the
many islands in Casco Bay, and it is painted on a fully cradled and
braced Baltic Birch panel (24" X 36") with a crackly, aged patina. Both the original and Fine Art Giclee prints are available! Please visit my website: <span style="color: #990000;">www.earlyamericanpainter.com<span style="color: black;"> for additional information.</span></span></span></span></div>

Working on a new project...which involves bringing a great country table “back to life”! It appears to me that this beautiful oak table, with gorgeous turned legs, had recently been used as a kid’s craft table! Sticky stuff everywhere on the black spray painted tabletop! Really? I am just now sketching out ideas for the Rufus Porter-inspired painting that will soon decorate the table! Even contemplating some Moses Eaton, Jr. style embellishments! Be sure to visit <a href="http://www.earlyamericanpainter.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">my website</span></a> where you can view some of my recent table projects! <a href="http://www.earlyamericanpainter.com/"><span style="color: #990000;">www.earlyamericanpainter.com</span></a></div>

post!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a quintessential Rufus
Porter-inspired harbor scene!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The mural,
done with acrylics, is painted on a fully cradled (2” cradle) and braced Baltic
Birch panel, 24" X 36" and ready to hang. The painting has a lovely
vintage appearance...crackled in many areas. In approximately 2 weeks, I will
apply a barrier coat and then several coats of a matte shellac. This original will
be for sale, and I will also be offering fine art giclee prints!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will be posted soon on </span><a href="http://www.earlyamericanpainter.com/"><span style="color: #0563c1; font-family: "calibri";">www.earlyamericanpainter.com</span></a>.<br />

Backgrounds are done, and the "shells" of the colonial homes on the main island are in. This painting is 24" X 36". All of the harbor scenes that I paint are my interpretation of Porter's view of Casco Bay, Portland Maine. </span><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">Around 1812, when young Rufus was a fife and drummer in the Portland Light Infantry, he trained many days on Munjoy Hill. At that time, the hillside was planted with magnificent feather duster Elm trees, which surrounded his view of the harbor. Some believe that the expansive harbor scenes that he would later paint on the walls of homes, inns, and taverns were inspired by his memory of those days spent on Munjoy Hill overlooking Casco bay with its numerous islands and sailboats.</span> </span><span style="color: black;">Please visit <a href="http://www.earlyamericanpainter.com/"><span style="color: #073763;">www.earlyamericanpainter.com</span></a> for more information on my paintings in the spirit of Rufus Porter!</span></span></span><br />
