"Going Crab Fishing" by Lynda Cookson

"Going Crab fishing" was inspired by a lovely, large, gent who wandered past us as we were parked overlooking a small bay within Douarnenez Bay on the west coast of Brittany in France. His character, walk and equipment were so much larger than life that all surroundings seemed to fall away.

PERSISTENCE PAYS OFF, 6X8, OIL, SOLD

A perfect beach day...kids running around, surfer's waiting for the "great one", birds overhead.  Lots of sunshine and the beautiful Atlantic...what more could we ask for?  I think this gentleman was asking for just a little more, but as far as I could tell, no luck!  There is always tomorrow.

Fisherman Painting, Daily Paintng, Small Oil Painting, 9x12x.75" NFS

This is a very special painting for me.  My grandson, Kevin, is obsessed with fishing.  He probably has 20 or more rod and reels for everything from deep sea fishing to fly fishing.  I surprised him this Christmas with a painting of one of his best ever fishing days.

BOUGAINVILLEA AND UMBRELLA, 6X8 SOLD

While driving to the post office, I passed this charming garden spot.  The blooming bougainvillea and garden umbrella in contrasting color, caught my eye.

I so enjoy doing these small paintings.  I have little desire to do larger ones these days.  This give me instant gratification and tomorrow, I have the thrill of starting over on a new project.

A few weeks ago, the talented Diana Marshall, from Dublin, Ireland, had a painting give-away.  She offered to do a portrait of choice for the winner, who happened to be ME!

Today I received this great painting of my grandson showing off his prize fish!  Thank you Diana, this will go directly to my grandson Kevin.

Be sure to check out Diana's blog.  Her paintings are great and her  animal portraits are fantastic, especially the cats.

There is certainly something in angling that tends to produce a serenity of the mind. ~Washington Irving


Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl. ~Ernest Hemingway

I don't fish myself but have many relatives and friends that do and I love to watch them fish.  It's quite an art!  I also love to eat the fish they catch......fresh with a little lemon, butter and dill!  Of course I love to paint them most of all.

Holidays are coming before you know it, so if you need the perfect gift...look me up soon.

Repair At The Pier, Portmagee, Ireland

6"x6" oil on gessoed masonite archival artboard

"May the holes in your net be no larger than the fish in it."
~Irish Blessing


This painting is worked in both brush and knife. The pier there in Portmagee is such a busy place, always a hub of action. It's exciting with all the colorful boats coming and going, and the various work being done.
