Recapping the Rockport Paint Out Pictorially.... Part Two

"Your blessing is no more than being safe and sound for your whole lifetime."
- a recent fortune cookie


May the Peace and the beauty of this special place... Rockport ... somehow enrich your journey!





St Brendan's RC Church (Est 1889... and the Queen of Peace high above the harbour







A serene River beauty... even in the gloom







River dredge in the morning mist... off to work in the Islands







Cruisin' the Thousand Islands aboard a comfortable, modern Rockport Boatline vessel







Some artists getting ready for exhibition time at The Rockport Restaurant & Patio!








An Andress style inboard wooden river craft... still tickin' along!







The Boathouse Restaurant







Zavicon Summer Mansion... late 1890's vintage







"Boathouses on Zavicon Island" - oil on canvas 16x20 inches







"Rockport Respite", Cornwall's Point -oil on canvas 24x20 inches








" A Blessing from The Queen of Peace" (1919)... to Boaters sent from St Brendan's RC Church"- oil on canvas 20x16 inches




For this post... I will simply share some of the pictures and my final three plein air pieces in this post. I think that they speak amply for themselves... and I have more than amply described my own personal feelings about the entire adventure... so enjoy!


Good Painting to All!... Fall is already getting underway here in this part of the world! Good colour and dramatic subject matter ahead!


Deb and I are off to Rockport again on Thursday... for another few days of enjoying this paradise and visiting. Maybe another painting or two?....Well see!


Stay tuned!..
