Nautical or Maritime Watercolor Paintings by Francis Quirk

We had a rather extensive backlog of images of Francis J. Quirk's watercolors that we had not shared. These images come from works that were auctioned in Maine in September of 2016.

The watercolors vary in subject matter and style. The first two of Mary in the boatyard contain considerable detail.Others are less detailed with one executed in a cubist style. They were probably executed during his summers at Peterspen North, his home in the Kinney Shores area of Saco, Maine.

The painting with the boat passing the lighthouse appears to have similar coast to an oil painting that was recently auctioned in Maine. 

The final image is of a pencil sketch of a yacht race that he only began to fill in with paint. We included it as it showed his working method.
