Barnacle Dinghy is an original piece of artwork by Bobbi Heath.

"This little boat belongs to our family and lives at the Barnacle cottage. She's a classic sailing dinghy but is mostly used now for rowing, and is often floating tied up to an outhaul, which makes for good painting perspectives."

Materials

6" x 6" oil on board, framed in a traditional gold wooden frame.

About the Artist

Bobbi Heath is an artist in love with the New England coast. She paints bold and colorful oil paintings of that coast so that you can enjoy your summer memories all year round. Her painting journey was kicked into high gear when she discovered daily painting, the practice of regularly creating small paintings in a single sitting. Those paintings taught her a lot about the process. Once she could create a small painting in a few hours, she was enticed outside by the landscape, and especially that of our New England coast. And so she became a plein air painter, one who paints outside from direct observation.

As a lover and owner of boats, she finds those particularly fun to paint. She and her husband split their time between the Maine coast in summer and Massachusetts in the winter, where they're driving distance from some amazing harbors. And there she finds her inspiration.
