About This Artwork
Monhegan Bell stands watch over the changing landscape and difficult weather patterns that sweep over the tiny Monhegan Island off the coast of Maine.
This is painting is about an iconic object towering over two iconic islands. The bell is located at the top of Monhegan Island and assists lobstermen during dangerous times at sea. It stands as an immovable reminder of the dangers of fishing off the coast of Maine. I wanted to record the ruggedness of the bell being illuminated by the soft, diffused morning light washing over the island. In the background is Manna Island. Manna is bleak and uninhabited. It is in stark contrast to the bell that exists to preserve life.
This painting is pastel on Kitty Wallis paper. It has a 3 inch museum matte under glass with a gold patina frame.
