From Scott's Perspective

Duckin Into Cover
18" x 24" Acrylics on gallery wrapped canvas
(Artist's note: When I first encountered this scene I was walking around the perimeter of a Delaware pond one morning. I was amazed at how the lighting and reflections shifted as I moved in relation to the position of the sun. I finally settled on this angle because of the light, and the shade of the overhanging trees and bushes. Then, the ducks, which were hidden in the shadows, decided that they didn't like me standing so close to them.)

CATurday Morning in Downtown Havre de Grace
12" x 24" acrylics on cradled canvas
(Artist's note: I set-up my easel in the same spot on 5 seperate mornings to capture the accurate lighting and composition for this scene. Havre de Grace just finished a downtown beautification project in which they laid down new bricks and sidewalks, and planted trees and created planter boxes. Although the area was torn up for quite a while, it looks great now that it's finished. Every Saturday mrning, CAT (Citizens Against Trash) volunteers meet to pick up trash. They all wear orange shirts and carry orange buckets. I wanted to be sure to include them in the painting since it is a community effort.)
The Skipjack "Wilma Lee"
24" x 30" on gallery wrapped canvas
(Artist’s note: “The Skipjack Wilma Lee” depicts one of the fading fleet of vessels, which once numbered in the thousands, that plied the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, in support of Maryland’s Seafood Industry. Now there are only about a hundred remaining, and they mostly serve as outside classrooms for museums. The Wilma Lee is run from the Maritime Museum in Annapolis. I was intrigued by the structure of the bow, with its chains and ropes, and by the shadows they cast on the hull.)

The Creature From The Black Lagoon Goes Waterskiing at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge
11" x 14" Acrylics on canvas board
Winter Fog Setting In
18" x 24" acrylics on canvas board
(Artist’s note: The painting "Winter Fog Setting in" was created using the subtractive method, a technique more commonly employed by oil painters than by acrylic painters. I also chose to use the monochrome pallet of colors to convey the mood of a calm early winter evening on the waterfront. This painting is currently on exhibit in the Havre de Grace Corporate Center Gallery located at 224 N Washington Street, Havre de Grace, MD.)

(Artist’s note: “Windswept” was an enjoyable painting to create …indoors, using a reference photo I had taken that morning. We had received only a few inches of snow. The clouds were being blown away by steady winds of 40 plus miles per hour, causing the snow to drift over exposed sections of the road that had already been plowed. It makes me shiver to remember it. Yet, even days like that have their own beauty. The sun was silhouetted by the clouds that raced across the sky, giving them a bright glow around their edges. The shadows of the clouds raced along the fields keeping up with them. The grasses peeked through where the snow was being blown off. The texture of the snow was revealed by its own deep shadows. Most painters will say that trees look bluer the further away they are. That morning, they were the scene's darkest elements.)
