Olive Kitteridge
Living on the north Shore of Massachusetts
Here is a painting that was used in the HBO movie Olive Kitteridge. I have not seen it, but know it was shot on the North Shore.Oil on canvas
24x36
Living on the North Shore of Massachusetts I was reminded of thd landscape of England. Some of the open fields and salt marshes reminded me of Sudbury in Suffolk. There I could see great distances. Inland there were so many trees. Out on the coast I am able to see the horizon and watch the effects of light as it comes down over greate distances. This painting was started from a smaller study that was done near thd Parker River in Ipswich, Massachusetts.
The family all got out and stretched while I painted for an hour. My family is so patient. Later I took the small painting back to the studio to make "Summer Marsh." I hope to see the movie. Sometimes I feel as if I like a movie just because of the locations or the sets.
