"The Seaside Inn" - continues

                                               12x16  acrylic

Listening to George Shearing on Pandora.com and working in-studio on a cooler and darker than usual Monday here in S.CA.  It was an "honor" to have worked with Shearing early in my TV career, and then to have written him one of his last checks for his performance on Pat Boone's '50's variety hour TV hit.  The film of that performance with Pat dueting on  "Stranger in Paradise" was one of the highlights of the program we did for PBS last year. Every once and a while I get an e-mail from someone who has seen the show late-night in some small PBS town who wants a copy.  Maybe "Stranger in Paradise" would be a title to consider for this painting in the works.  Port Clyde, ME is not what i always thought of as "paradise", but as I spend more summer times there it grows on me for sure. The style here is an omage to Connie Hayes one of the neat and popular Maine artists i discovered this past year.  Check her out on the net.
