Fog Bound, Frenchman Bay

5.5" x 10.5" x 2"

Oil on Wooden Board salvaged from Hancock Point Wharf, sent to shore by the January 10th, 2024 storm that tore apart and destroyed the wharf, along with many others up and down the coast of Maine.

This is one of a series I am still working on, an artistic and historical talisman in memory of the breezy blue days walking to the floating docks, oars over my shoulder; of teenage summer nights sitting with friends on the bench under the lone street light at the end of the wharf- like we were in a magical play, and the ocean beyond part of the set.
In the aftermath, grey painted boards washed ashore. I dragged some home and cut them into pieces.
This spring, kayaking through the fog down the shore past Carters Beach, this sturdy, silent gull patiently waited.

This is painted on the "back side" of the board fragment over a white underpainting- on the reverse side is the grey paint of the beloved wharf.

This painted wooden block can sit on a shelf or table for display.
