It's what grounds us and gives us familiarity to the unknown

is a study in versatility

It was a beautiful day in the spring

The Cannonball, Nantucket Product:The Cannonball, Nantucket It's what grounds us andSummer fun in Nantucket! This depiction of a "cannonball" about to splash down was first sketched by Melinda Buie in oil pastels; she then meticulously applied acrylic paint in layers before using turpentine to erase some of the original pastel marks, leaving sketched lines. Final flourishes in oil paint bring the piece to life. Gallery wrapped canvas with unfinished edges, it's signed on the back and ready to hang.
