Hotel Room, 1931 (Edward Hopper)
House at Dusk, 1935

August in the City, 1945 (Edward Hopper)
In this visit to a hotel in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
(a favorite place of mine in the Northeast) in 1996, I was inspired by the gusty, windswept, and watercolor days of Edward Hopper’s New England….. women in diners, houses on hills, bathers on lighthouse beaches, window frames warmly lit in morning or evening glow. It actually took years to complete the full image (presented here in a series of versions.). (And a few visits to museums to study Edward Hopper and his era, contrast of shadows and light.). Somebody in Cambridge Square gave me a Michael Ondajje poem (The Cinnamon Peeler’s Wife) and I listened to musicians sing James Taylor tunes, accompanied by acoustic guitar.

Canadian Beach

There’s something so formulaic about this painting (guess how old I was?) that I had to include the landscape/ architecture of a Canadian Beach.

Neighbor to Maine and New England, definitely not the same, though similar….. windswept, gusty, cold for the most part, fishing and other subsistence living from the environment.

Lighthouse Hill, 1927
Rocky Shore, 1916
Cape Cod Afternoon, 1936
Compare with Edward Hopper Vistas

and other American shores…

Fishing Boats, Key West

Winslow Homer, 1903
