The daily dose of art HERE & THERE

Enough with the trees.  Today we will wander about with no specific destination in mind, something I've been getting a little to comfortable with lately.

DAILY URBAN LANDSCAPE #10 ST. MICHAELS BY THE BAY

Located on the famed "Eastern Shore" of the Chesapeake Bay, St. Michaels is a pure visual delight, as well as a magnet for boaters, fishermen, and tourists.  I painted the town twice, the first time from land, and the second from the water, thanks to dear friends Tuck and Betty and their boat.  (In addition to the visual delights I still remember the Red Snapper soup that Betty served us that day.)
Below is the second of the two paintings.

CAPE MAY NJ VICTORIAN - III

On one of my trips to CM I decided to explore the undeveloped areas in the NJ side of the Delaware bay, home to towns like bivalve, shellpile, and Fortesque. Once a thriving fishing port, it now remains a forgotten place with little or no marine industry. Turning off one back road onto another I suddenly found myself looking at this most amazing lighthouse, totally alone, abandoned, and without any signage or markings to identify it. I later learned it was called the East Point Lighthouse and belonged the USN. Although not in Cape May, it is close enough to be included in this tour. I have painted it with both watercolor and pastels.

We can't visit CM without seeing it's victorian architecture. This next painting is a complilation of several B&Bs in town.
