Boston Public Library with Cop Car and Balloon

Oil on canvas, 2011, 24" x 36".

After just perusing Adam J. O'Day's blog again I feel as though my titles are entirely too objective - however - too lazy to try to think of a better one right now.


You can read a bit more about this painting at Sean Boyce Studios

Peanut Butter in Boston

I'm taking this painting off the market temporarily to enter it into a competition at The Copley Society of Art .


The deadline for artists to enter is April 20, 2011.

George Nick is the juror and he is a wonderful painter.

The theme of the competition is contemporary still life.

The Art of Poetry Exhibition

at Cataumet Arts Center 76 Scraggy Neck road, Cataumet Village, Bourne, MA 02534-0240
(508) 563-5434.

Live Poetry Reading w/ Bob Zappacosta & Opening Reception Sat. April 2, 2-4 pm.

I based my painting on Rob's poem: Talking Sylvia

         There was no
         contrast between the skyline
        and the vertical steel bars
        that lined the Bourne Bridge.

        The day was gray -
        and a melancholy mist
        hung over
        the Cape Cod Canal

Now it takes a bit of talent to pour
a shot of Bushmills into one's coffee while driving around one of those
New England rotaries.  Jack - was a pro at it.
He also was a pretty good painter when he had to be
and this was one of those times he
damn well had to be. The "check guage" light came on.  Jack new he would
have to stop if he was going to make it to Wellesley and

get that contract. So he said his goodbyes to
Alexander Hamilton at the Shell station and drove
the rest of the way alone, sadly, without the company
of anyone famous enough to get
themselves into print. Wellesley, he mused to himself, isn't that
where Plath used to live?
Little did Jack know he would soon be painting

         a seven room house
         only three streets over
         from 26 Elmwood Road.,
         the place where she
         first tried to commit

         suicide.



    

Lauren's Nails (164 Newbury)

My Charles Street picture DID sell before I could even post it online so did this, my picture of the building next door to Sean Boyce Studios


Speaking of Newbury Street, I'm in the throes of upgrading my studio to the front space of the building so I'll have a nicer spot to work and for people to come see my work.

Here's the new pic (sold)

Charels Street - Studio Upgrade

Oil on canvas, 18" x 24", 2011.

Sorry about the blurry picture - I'll re - shoot soon. This is another painting which (I'm pretty sure) has sold before I've even gotten a chance to properly photograph or post it online.

Good news! I've been moving from the back studio into the front for a few days now over at 162 Newbury Street.

I hope everyone (including myself) loves the new and improved space!

Hereford and Commonwealth

This piece will make it's boloco debut on Monday March 28, 2011 at


It features my version of the Burrage Mansion as well as some Bostonians, and other cool features.

This piece was painted en plein aire with local Virtual Realist Brian Harkins as part of a collaborative project which will continue the immersion of Sean Boyce art into cyberspace. (It of course begins with Biff The Cyberpunk).
