#theyankee

I’ve studied this painting and have painted it several times in watercolor and acrylic ink. It never loses its fascination to me. I love the sea, flags, lighthouse, New England, history, and glamour, not to mention the envy of the painters life and talent who had the pleasure to paint it to begin with. #emilegruppe #theyankee #schooner #sea #newengland #capeann #artcolony #watercolor #watercolorpainting #happycreativelife #weareallartists (at Carriage House Studio of Windy Acre Cottage) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbP4OojufD-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Study of Emile Gruppe’s 1935 painting “The Yankee.” I’ve never seen his work in person and never seen this particular piece online, but he must have loved to paint at this location and this vessel 🚢. I recognize it in many of his paintings. And why not? Such a majestic craft!! #theyankee #emilegruppe #watercolor #sejpaints #paintingwithsusan #capeann #maine @cheekwood (at Columbia, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMimjh9BZJd/?igshid=d2qvw489071v

Final entry in watercolor journal commemorating yesterday’s visit to @cheekwood and the “In a New Light:American Impressionism” exhibit. So fortunate to be able to sketch a small study of an Emile Gruppe painting “The Yankee” from 1935. Speaks to my wanderlust, history-loving and art-loving soul. @cheekwood #wanderlust #emilegruppe #theyankee #capeann #maine #americanimpressionism #sejpaints #paintingwithsusan (at Columbia, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMil_CbhCBb/?igshid=e8z6548rui3k
