Menemsha Bay Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts

Off the coast of Massachusetts lie several islands that are easily accessible by ferry from either Hyannis or Woods Hole Massachusetts.  One of my favorite places to visit is the serenity and quiet of a small fishing village on the larger Island of Martha's Vineyard.  This painting was inspired by one of those visits and is a representation of the very small fishing village of Menemsha Bay.

I am always drawn to the ocean and on this day the ocean was calm allowing for the reflection of the fishing boat in the water which was a new challenge to paint.  New England and the Massachusetts coastline has
several of these small coves where similar scenes exist. This painting is available through my studio and would love a home on a wall in a summer home by the ocean.
