Beach at Valencia (1908) by Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida. The works from this period are painted in determined, long, confident strokes, full of strength, agility and ease. The palette is more potent than in earlier works. The way Sorolla captures the different lights of the day, the reflections of the water, and the reverberation of light show us the work of an artist at the height of his talent.

A late but sincere thanks to my 8/23/2025 #FineArtAmerica client from Greenwich, CT. for their purchase of a framed and matted print of one of my personal favorites, "Greenwich Point." Enjoy!

Kinsale’s Waterfront Serenity

If you’ve ever been to Kinsale in Co Cork, you’ll immediately recognise the house and tree in the picture above. If you go back in my archives you’ll probably find a photo of it from another angle, but it’s so nice I thought I should take another photo. 🙂

TIL that style of large, spreading tree you see dominating this Kinsale scene is likely a Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani), which became incredibly fashionable to plant on Irish estates during the Georgian and Victorian periods. These trees were imported from the eastern Mediterranean and became status symbols for wealthy landowners. Having a mature Cedar of Lebanon on your property basically announced “we’ve been here long enough to grow something this impressive.” They can live for over 1,000 years and develop those distinctive horizontal, layered branches that make them instantly recognisable. The tree in this photograph is probably 150-200 years old based on its size and shape, meaning it was likely planted sometime in the early to mid-1800s when Kinsale was thriving as a fishing port and naval base. So that tree has essentially witnessed the entire modern history of the town!

TBT 13 years ago I was taking a watercolor workshop in Maine and saw these boats at anchor on a morning walk.

From The Boulevard in my beloved #GloucesterMA. Never understood how the flag is hanging while the boat has full sails. #boats #ships #sailboats

Once upon a time, a half a century ago, at a campground in the lakes region, a small fleet of cheap #sunfish #sailboats engaged in naval combat daily. The custom of the time, the older campers commandeered them to engage in a lively game of 'try to capsize the other boat(s)'. And, one of the smarter of these engaged in an arms race, picking one of the smaller campers to ride the bow and grab the other boat's #sail to dump them.

I was that bow crew. It was glorious. @mikej just reminded me…

Maine, specifically Penobscot Bay, is absolutely gorgeous cruising grounds. Today, we sailed from a mooring in Belfast to an anchorage near Castine at Holbrook Island. Loving #Maine! #sailing #sailboat #Sailboats
