I am a portrait and still life painter, and landscape artist as often as I can lift my brush. That is usually every day. The mind paints as readily as the hand.

Backbay Fishermen: Landscape oil painting

Backbay Fishermen©2011 C.L.Burgess  20x20 canvas at Bella Arte Gallery

This a large painting based on a  small plein air I did a while back. It is at the gallery and for sale.  I love how the subject changes when it becomes larger. There is a freedom of brushstroke that is so much fun to employ.

What a beautiful piece and it would make such a fabulous gift for a dad who either takes his son out fishing (or daughter) or has memories of doing just that.

Thanks Sherry. Yes I hope someone else agrees with you and it finds a home!

Beautiful Painting Cathyann. I have a photo that I took ages ago and haven`t got around to doing a painting from It. That is about a fisherman fishing in the lake district. Seeing your painting makes me want to do it now, thanks. All the best.
