The Knob with northern beach grasses and shrubbery in foreground. This vantage point might be suitable to depict the beach roses, the goldenrod, the honeysuckle, or the bittersweet in close detail.

The Knob with Gansett Point at the entrance to Quinsett Harbor. Interesting that Gansett Point on the horizon at left is balanced by a quiet tuft of a distant cumulus cloud on the right. Otherwise clear and verdant.

Sailing in Buzzards Bay off The Knob. I love the pink and grey depicted in the granite boulders in strong direct sunlight at mid-day.

The Knob by the Sea by Janet Gary. A dramatic detail shot of the sweeping arc of ric-rac boulders on the northern bay-side. Just lovely. The color palette here (violet, yellow, green, and blue in pale hue) is another strong emphasis for overall effect.

"The Knob" by Julie Crowley. An impressionistic rendition. She completes a nice work in quieting down the details of the shrubbery and grasses and waves inherent in photo-realism and depicts the feeling of being there on a sunlit day. One could almost subtitle this painting "The Invitation".

"The Knob" by Jan Collins Selman. An impressionistic realism on a cloudy, windy day. Love the sailboats to suggest the wind action. Without the sailboats, the painting would be too still. Also, like the blending of the sea and sky on the horizon.

Susie Morell, a Daily painter, has depicted on the sailboats at Quisset Harbor. Love the overall color tones in this impression.
