Frank Mason was my painting teacher at the Art Students League. This Seascape, painted en plein air in Bald Head, Maine, is both a good representation of the way he painted and an apt metaphor for his powerful personality. At the League he taught me the art of painting, but I also worked in his studio where he taught me the craft of painting. There I learned how to prepare canvases and mediums, grind colors, and frame and crate paintings for exhibitions. I included his palette, brushes, and portable brush cleaner in the still life to pay homage to his dedication to the materials and craft of painting.
