“Sticks and Stones” is a very special piece for my creative journey. It represents a leap of faith in doing something new and different, and it launched an entire series of paintings that is still expanding.
This painting took me over four months to create and launched an entirely new journey into painting watercolor on canvas, something not often seen. This was a labor of love, trying and often failing but not letting up to learn how to paint this new subject on a new substrate. I would often need to practice a specific aspect on a “practice canvas” to get it right before venturing on to this finished piece. And as often is the case, progress is learning to adapt and move through. I am very proud of the final result.
Sticks and Stones represents an incredibly lucky childhood growing up on the water in Maine. I lobstered with my Dad and brothers in the late 70’s and continued through high school. My adventures as a young boy scrambling over the rocks and shoreline have never stopped, I still go walking and climbing at the shore, looking over every rock, stick, shell, and tide pool in my path. It never gets old. And it connects me back to a time and place I love so much. I hope it gives you that feeling too.
Each print is produced as part of a fixed, limited edition of 100 and is individually signed and numbered by the artist. Once an edition is fully collected, it is permanently closed and not reproduced.
The work is printed on 315 gsm (20 mil) 100% cotton rag, an archival fine art paper selected for its ability to retain tonal depth and subtle variation. The surface has a soft, matte texture with a natural warmth that closely reflects the character of the original watercolor.
Each print is prepared in the studio and presented matted in white with a rigid backing, then enclosed in protective, weather-resistant packaging for shipment.
A certificate of authenticity accompanies every piece, verifying its place within the edition and including a unique identifying number recorded by the artist.
As editions close over time, each print becomes part of a finite body of work held in private collections.
