Collection: 54 Falmouth Beach paintings in 54 days

The book "The 54: 54 Falmouth Beach Paintings in 54 Days" is now available to purchase through this link.  It includes images of all of the paintings, along with comments from social media posts during the project.

On April 1, 2020 the Town of Falmouth closed its beach parking lots as a proactive measure to reduce Covid 19 viral spread.  It meant I lost the option of painting beach scenes from the front seat of my car.  They remained closed until May 24.  A total of 54 days. 

One year later, March 2021, I found myself sitting in my car in a beach parking lot, painting and wondering "why didn't I do this more often last year?" Then I remembered.  I couldn't get there.

The idea came to celebrate how life is different this year.

So on April 1, 2021 I began a series of 54 paintings of the Falmouth beaches.  My personal commitment was to complete the paintings in 54 days, one a day, every day, by May 24.

This collection holds all of the painting images from the project.  Many have sold.  Some remain available.

Enjoy!

All paintings were completed Alla Prima.  What does that mean? 

In Italian, the term "alla prima" means "at first attempt". In other words, the paintings are completed in a single session, on location, without further layers or tweaks in the studio.

The paintings are available to purchase at an 80% discount from regular gallery prices!   They are offered as is, as painted on location in one sitting.  No home studio refinements allowed.
