New England Watercolors, Oil Paintings, and Prints by Phil Bean

“Sea Trail”  Oil on canvas  8×10  The coast of Maine with it’s unique moods and atmosphere is always great subject matter for an artist.

“Clouded Peaks” An original oil on canvas  11×14.  I liked the effect of the lost and found edges of the mountain interacting with the clouds. It came about while quickly developing that area with the painting knife. I decided to leave it alone and not to overwork it. I find that there are times during the painting process when it is difficult to recapture certain effects that are lost while trying to improve on them. The entire painting was finished using only the painting knife.

“Monadnock Inspirations”  An original oil on canvas 16″ x 20″.  This local mountain has been the subject of many paintings through the years.  Studying this landmark during the different seasons always presents new challenges for the artist. This particular observation comes into view for only a brief moment while on the road to Peterborough, NH.
