Bruce Starr at Deluca Gallery, Provincetown MA

The Deluca Gallery is located at 359 Commercial St.

next to The Harbor Lounge, on the waterfront.

The piece above is a scene from seafood stand in Wellfleet Harbor on a brisk September evening as the sky began to clear after a rainy afternoon. At 36 x 24, it is one of my larger paintings to date.

    

Many thanks to the friends and family who came from Boston, Philadelphia, and Arizona to help me celebrate opening weekend of my show at the Deluca Gallery! Here we are at Lorraine's:

Here are a few other new pieces to be seen for the first time at the show: (click to enlarge)

Local 188  24 x 16, Casein on Muslin covered plywood

This is a street scene outside a restaurant in Portland Maine, at the end of an evening on a warm September night. A rich palette of colors emerge from the pools of light and reflections against a backdrop of ultamarine blue in the surrounding darkness.

Race Point Light from Herring Cove,  16 x 12, Casein on muslin covered ply

This piece is very similar to a previous painting that sold the first time I displayed it at the Providence Open Market. Herring Cove is a perfect place to enjoy the rich colors of sunset over Race Point, with the light reflected in the texture of the waves as they roll into Hatches Harbor.

Miranda's Window, Rainy Dawn.  16 x 12, Casein on muslin-covered ply

This scene is from a small seside town in Maine where my friend Miranda recently bought a cottage. Peeping out the window on a cold rainy morning this scene greeted me. There is something about the stolid, boxy house, secure against the wet and chill dawn, that gave me a sense of peace and comfort I wanted to convey in this painting.
