More From the 1970's




I played a lot with a Kodak Pocket Instamatic110 camera for awhile, but it just didn't do it for me. I shot quite a few cassettes of film. Most of the pictures are not really worth posting and have little value except sentimentally. I posted a few more here simply because they were interesting and well, I can!

The following 4 shots are from a day trip I took with an old girlfriend, to New London, Conn. Actually, It was a pretty cool little trip. We took the ferryboat from Orient Point, the eastern most point on the north fork of Long Island, across Long Island Sound. We cruised around a bit, and had some fun. We got to climb around a vintage WWII submarine, see a sub-base and factory.
The last 3 are from Fire Island, NY.

Summer days at Fire Island, NY. 1977 We stayed a while at the hotel that my sister and brother-in-law ran at the little beach town of Kismet, on Fire Island. Great time.

Website Changes & New Focus Part 2

Beach Romance, 16x20 Pointillist Painting This is the second part of a short 2 part post. As noted in my last post, I explained what Romantic Realism was and why I was moving forward as a Romantic Realist painter. I thought I should also explain why I no longer planned on painting as a Pointillist painter. As a result, my Pointillist art will no longer be a focus on my website at, https://edmccarthyart.com.   For many years, prior to painting as a Romantic Realist, I painted using a post-impressionist style called, Pointillism. I still have many Pointillist works available, and so I felt readers would appreciate a short brief concerning this style I worked with for so long. Pointillism, was the first style to come about after Impressionist. It is a technique whereby paint is applied closely together using tiny dots, daubs and/or dashes. Mixing dots of specific colors can create a new color. These new colors are not produced physically o...

Fragile Existence Of Dreams It's been quite sometime since my last blog entry. In fact, I was actually living in another state when I wrote last (yikes)! So, “what's new?” you ask. Well, let me begin by sharing what I've been working on the last couple of months. For the last couple of years, I've had my art career on the back burner. My wife, Jeannie, and I had visited Colorado, our first quite some time. And while we we were in Colorado, we decided that the 2000 mile separation from our kids and grand kids was just a bit too much. So, we decided to relocate back to Colorado from Florida. Well, I was working a day job in Florida, but I was also remodeling a house (ours). So, I needed to focus on that before we could actually sell our house, pack and move. Since I was doing most of the repairs and remodeling myself, and I was working full time three towns away, that left me with almost no time to paint. We finally were able to sell our home...
