Island Tribute, 20 x 24 oil “A few summers ago there was an island tragedy. A lobsterman’s boat was hit by a rogue wave. The Captain did not survive. As a tribute I painted this image. The empty dory in the church yard is symbolic like the empty boots of fallen fire fighters in front […]

Churning Seas by Jerry Cable
Churning Seas, 5.5 x 6.5 oil “Sometimes I prefer to abandon my hard edge technique of painting for something a little more random and head for the surf usually when there is word of a big storm surge. There is something about the randomness of crashing waves that becomes very abstract for me.”- Jerry Cable […]

Ruby by Jerry Cable

Kent House by Jerry Cable
Kent House 11 x 16 “This house built by Famed Artist Rockwell Kent for his mother Sarah Kent has always fascinated me. How exciting it would be to experience a nor’easter from inside.
