Just a hop, skip and a jump from home. Chippies Shanty is the faded pink building.

  3. Larry, this is a beautiful painting!! And what scenery...I'm so jealous that this is "right out side your backyard".

    I do pop in from time to time...love all your photos...especially of the rusty anchor you found! I'm curious...what brand of camera do you and your wife use or like the best?

  4. Thank you.
    It is nice being so close to the water and all its beauty. I have only scratched the surface here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

    My camera is a hand me down from my wife. A D200 Nikon digital, and she uses a D300 and D700, both Nikon digitals.

  7. Hi Catherine,
    Chippies Shanty is just down the road about a half mile at Jenkins Creek boat ramp.
    A good place to get fresh blue crabs."Yuuumm!"

  8. Hey Larry! I use acrylic. It's more affordable for me and an easy clean up.

  9. Hi Kendra, I can agree on the affordability and cleaning. The colors are so crisp and clear, and very nice to look at.

  12. Hey Larry...Luv this painting, reminds me of vacations spent as a child at Pt Pleasant and Seaside Hts in N.J. Can't forget those days we went crabbing in the bay too. Caught an occasional eel...YUK.

  13. Thank you for the nice comments. I have a few pieces of art at the New Jersey Repertuar Theatre.
    The crabs are starting to come in after a slow start, so should be some good eating soon. The eels thing, Yuk too! We have fisherman who catch eels and send them over seas.
