I've talked about my Nantucket paintings before and I finally sold one of them. Nantucket is one of three islands off the coast of Massachucets full of history and catering to the summer vacation crowds. I go there with some friends to stay at the Hostel and bike around the island. When you come into Nantucket by ferry, you do a semi-circle around the Brandt Point Lighthouse at the head of Nantucket Harbor before it heads into dock. I've taken a bunch of pictures at every point in that circle, usually from the upper deck of the ferry which gives me an added odd angle to the paintings. Ive done 4 painings of this lighthouse. This one had 3 sailboats at anchorage in front of it. The painting looks better than the picture, despite having tried several cameras.
I posted it on Fineartamerica, Zazzle and a few other sites. I finally got a hit from someone who say it on Fineartamerica. A man from Connecticut named Jack Nelson emailed me asking if the painting was still available. His family spends time on Nantucket and this was going to be a graduation present for his daughter. This was a week before graduation and it had to get there in time for him to get it framed which was not a problem via Fed-ex. It arrived on time and he liked it. I asked for a picture of them with the painting, since I like to have a record of who has it and it makes it more personal. The picture has not come yet, so when it comes, I will post it.
