Kind of Blue
"Kind of Blue" is a custom, Maine-built lobster boat named after the Miles Davis' studio session that changed jazz forever. Like Davis' masterpiece, the painting is alive with motion, capturing the boat's stout-hearted path home through cold, choppy water. Nearly every hue of blue is on display. Davis' jazz album was the first to use atonal intervals, an homage to Shostakovich, to create an anxious, unresolved sound. The painting conveys that same bluesy feeling, fusing classicism with something startlingly contemporary and fresh"

"Felicity's amazing rendition of Alexa was an unexpected and simply incredible gift from my wife. Alexa has been such an important part of our family and to have this beautiful picture to reflect on and to warm those cold offseason days is a great gift. Felicity's talent, attention to detail and ability to capture the beauty of Alexa and Long Island Sound so authentically are truly remarkable." |

"I was so excited to find such a talented local artist but I don't think I truly appreciated Felicity's artistic abilities, specifically her attention to detail, until I had one of her paintings in my home. As I walk by it throughout the day, the colors and shadows change with the light. It's amazing to see how the different layers of color come out at different times throughout the day. " |

"I was the proud recipient of the painting that you were so kind to produce. This sailboat meant a great deal to me and my boat partner and we spent many enjoyable hours with family and friends over the course of the 10 plus years we owned her. This painting will bring back happy memories and I hope you have the chance to stop by our Stonington house to see it proudly displayed." |
