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...

What's In A Name?

Paradise Near Purgatoire, 12x16, Acrylic on Canvas   Didn't have a whole lot of time to work up a real in depth post this week, but did want to share a recently completed painting and some insights that went into painting it. This painting is entitled, Paradise Near Purgatoire . Pun intended. It's a 12"x16" acrylic painting on a gallery wrapped canvas. Yes, this is a real place. I have the photos to prove it. I came upon this place in the spring of 1999, in southeastern Colorado. It was spring break, and we were not in any financial position to take a no-holds-barred trip to a beach or Mexico, or Florida, so I decided to go on a few day trips. One such place was to a remote place called to Picketwire Canyonlands. The Purgatoire River runs through Picketwire Canyon, which is located in the Comanche National Grasslands. Along the Purgatoire River there are several sets of dinosaur tracks. That was the main attraction. ...
