New Hampshire Coast Paintings

Project type

Seaside landscapes

Date

2026

Location

New Hampshire Coast

A favorite theme of mine - the chilly and beautiful New Hampshire coast, particularly Rye, Portsmouth, and the Isles of Shoals, places of my childhood and coveted visits later in life. I work from personal photos and sketches, memory and wistfulness. Most of these are painted on gessoed Masonite panels; some currently posted to Etsy at www.etsy.com/shop/sandysuitcase

Starting point for Rocks at Wallis Sands State Beach.

Underpainting for Rocks at Wallis Sands 8x10"

More detail and developing color for Rocks.

Charming village of Gosport on Star Island, Isles of Shoals.

Small paintings under development. I start with rough sketches on paper, then a light, simple vine charcoal sketch directly on the panel before painting.

Lobster boat with view of Star Island Hotel and palette.

View of maybe Lunging Island, or part of White Island?

Moxie, my favorite NH treats and difficult to find anywhere else!
