penobscot bay
in
2002 beave woodman and his sister dawn commissioned me to create a painting for their father carl's birthday. since i had
previously painted a picture of carls' boat for beave, i thought it would be a good idea to use beaves' boat as the subject
for carls' painting. so i used this image of "the beave" steaming up to haul the first gear of the year, in february, set
in rocky terrain in "the gut", the narrow passage between monroe and sheep islands. like the earlier painting, this one stretches
five feet.
