Three New Quirk Watercolors Come to Light

When we photographed the art works available for auction in 2016 in Maine we missed a few as we ran out of camera disc space. Fortunately, while perusing the internet, we were able to find a few more images of works as the original purchaser put them up for auction elsewhere. Here are three of the works we missed.

The first may have been painted early in Quirk's life when he was spending time in Provincetown, MA on Cape Cod. Earlier we had notcied some parallels or similarities between a few of Quirk's paintings and with the work of Edward Hopper. This painting would also fit into that category.
