NESS

NESS
New England States Scottie

Welcome to NESS- the New England States Scottie! I discovered NESS as a fluke one day while looking at a map and saw, what appeared to be, a dog. I turned the map of New England on its side and NESS was conceived! The Tartan was placed when I saw that the land masses from the tip of New Hampshire to Rockland, Maine, were jutting out, conveniently providing the collar for the dog. Since the dog looked like a Scottie, it seemed appropriate to make the collar a Tartan of my own design, and NESS was created.
I needed a blog site that would allow me to post my various paintings of New England as well as provide images to create a yearly calendar. The paintings are for sale or may be ordered as a print. If you like a painting and can’t afford the original, a link is provided to manage the printing process. Currently, I paint mostly in southeast Connecticut and R.I., but periodically venture to areas of New England that provide interesting landscapes, seascapes and/or any subject that might be suitable for a painting. My painting process is either watercolor or oil 'en plein aire’. A French term that literally translates to “open air” and is defined as painting or drawing outside. I also paint in my studio from images that I capture from my photos.

These are the first calendars for 2015, only 30 calendars remain, today 12/14/15
