Oil
$575

Dimensions: 25″ x 20″ framed, flat black frame. Will deliver within an hour’s drive from Exeter.

Dimensions: 15″ wide x 17″ high with black frame. Will deliver within 1 hours drive of Exeter.

Notes from the artist: This image has haunted me since I heard the cellist playing beautiful music in the tunnel at the Louvre at nighttime years ago. I took a photo but it was much too dark. Painting it brought back all those feelings.

Watercolor
$250

Dimensions: 20” wide x 16” high, including an off-white mat and a 5/8” wide frosted gold metal frame.

Oil
$225

Notes from the artist: I’ve always loved lighthouses and the Portsmouth light is a fine example of the New England lights that have guided ships into ports and away from hazards for centuries. Portsmouth light continues to welcome ships and boaters as they pass historic Fort Constitution at the mouth of the Piscataqua River in New Castle. This painting is one of a series of four that also includes Portland Head Light in Maine, Eastern Point Light (Gloucester MA), and the iconic Nubble Light – all available at the SAA Gallery.

Port Clyde Fishing Shack
David Turbide
Oil
$250

Dimensions:

Painting is 11×14, mahogany frame outside dimensions are 15×18

Notes from the artist: Port Clyde, Maine is a prototypical fishing village and one of the places where you can catch the ferry to Mohegan Island. This shack is a very picturesque representative of the breed, one of thousands along the New England coast. I love the way the cedar shakes weather and the beautiful shades and irregularities that the harsh New England weather creates on the painted and unpainted surfaces.

This wool “painting” is a compilation of several photographs taken that day.

About the painting: While doing a commissioned painting at an historic working farm I came across this gorgeous rooster who strutted totally uninterested in the fact that I followed him with my camera to capture his vibrant beauty.
