                               " Swee- Pea " 8x10 oil on canvasboard $300.00 SOLD

                 A few weeks ago, as an effort to attain more "summer themed" reference material (photos) for subject matter to paint, my wife and I drove down the south coast town of Marion, MA. While roaming around the picturesque village we decided to walk down to the harbor where I noticed among all the sailboats and other pleasure craft, this tiny workhorse of a vessel. I believe it to be a dredge or something similar. Upon closer inspection of the craft, I noticed the name, Swee- Pea .
