Towards Tuckernuck
6” x 8”
If you weren't there that day, perhaps you could have been! My stay on Nantucket concluded with this visit to Madaket Beach. The view towards Tuckernuck Island (a tiny island off Nantucket, which is a small island off Cape Cod) was enhanced by the changeable skies, which might have ruined the day had the front moved a little closer. I love painting at the beach, the experience enhance by the sense of surf. It seems special when you know that summer is fading, yet gives you a few last chances to enjoy it. This little one shore would look good on a narrow wall or displayed on a picture frame easel as a reminder of the promise that beach days will return.
"Towards Tuckernuck" is framed in a Taos gray wooden frame with an understated grey/green rubbed finish with a warm reddish umber undertone. It has a Whistler style rich antique gold leaf inner lip with a soft rounded outer edge. The outside frame is a one piece routed panel so absolutely no separation at the corners. The frame is a 3 1/2" molding, so in the frame it presents as 12 1/2" tall by 14 1/2" wide. It's framed as shown ready to hang with felt pads to protect the wall. The canvas panel is a Raymar 56MC Medium Cotton is a professional grade double acrylic primed, 100% pure cotton duck canvas with a medium weave with uniform texture. This is my favorite painting surface because the absorbent canvas grabs the paint for an opaque effect yet keeps your brushstroke visible to create textured landscape. It particularly suits my technique of underpainting warm compliments in oil washes, which support the "real" color in the final painting. The archival 1/8" MDF has no added oils and the back of the board is sealed with gray melamine to prevent warping and deterioration. The paint is Winsor & Newton professional oil colors which are permanent. The painting is varnished and will last for hundreds of years.
