I am a painter from Cape Elizabeth, Maine--a small coastal town near Portland. I fell in love twice on the coast of Maine; The first time was with the place itself while working as a captain sailing for Outward Bound. Then I fell in love with my wife, Jill, who at the time, was also sailing for Outward Bound. Though we never worked together aboard the same boat, we're in the same boat now! The majority of my paintings are done along the coast from Cape Cod to Cutler. New England has always been my home and I try to capture in paint those aspects of it that make it so special. I am fortunate to be represented by several galleries; Elizabeth Moss Gallery (Falmouth, Maine), Sandpiper Gallery (Wellfleet, MA), and the William-Scott Gallery, (Provincetown, MA). I always look forward to hearing from you, so please drop me a line anytime: cooperdragonette@hotmail.com Enjoy!

Nice one Cooper. I like all of these marsh paintings. I'm actually sort of a fan of the number system of naming paintings. It's efficient, to the point and it allows you to get on with painting. Of course I have a hard time coming up with witty titles as well so I'm probably just rationalizing.
Love this one. Great colors and composition.

Thanks Craig. I appreciate the affirmation on my current mode of titling.
Thanks k. madison!
you are good at reflections cooper
the mars paintings are strong!
I just found this blog via the ArtBiz blog (post regarding scam emails). Your landscapes are truly lovely. I was born and raised in CT and now live in MI. I find endless inspiration in New England. You capture it beautifully.
