Gaspee Days 3-sold


Oil on panel, 6" x 8"
One more from the parade. These gals were fun to paint. Strictly segregated, though- I didn't see any of these colonial women playing the drums. I guess that's a man's job....

On another night- Friday night is the opening of Artists for Save the Bay. Over 50 artists will be participating. Tickets for the opening are $30.00; otherwise the show can be seen during business hours thru August.

Gaspee Days Fife and drums


Oil on panel, 6" x 8"
We went to the Gaspee Days parade this past weekend, for the first time ever. The Gaspee was a British ship burned to the waterline by early American colonists. Rhode Islanders claim that this is where the American Revolution really started, not at that little dustup in Lexington shortly after.
