Here on Cape Cod the daffodils are finally popping open their bright yellow bonnets for us all to enjoy. I have had a busy winter painting my Cape Cod seascapes and landscapes. It feels like coming out of a long hibernation. It was a long, cold snowy winter, but in my studio I spent the… read more

Thanks to all who came to the reception last night for my exhibit of Cape Cod seascapes and landscapes at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod in South Yarmouth. My framed oil paintings will be there through Sunday, May 6. If you’ve never been to the center, and find yourself on Cape Cod looking for something… read more

To an artist, winter on Cape Cod means time – time to spend valuable hours painting in my studio. One benefit of this time is the freedom to try some new techniques. I’ve always been a fan of wet-into-wet painting, and I still am spending plenty of time doing that. I still find wet-into-wet very… read more

After a very busy summer and fall, full of shows and exhibits, I’m happy to say that I have updated this site to display 11 new pieces of art depicting Cape Cod seascapes, marshes, and shores.   From foggy flats on the north side of the Cape to appealing dune paths beckoning to the soft… read more

July, glorious July!   This is what we wait for all through the snowy cold winter and cool wet spring.

Last fall, artists chose a song to use for inspiration in their artwork, be it an oil or watercolor painting, a sculpture, a photograph, etc. When I looked over the list of songs, I spotted “Ebb… read more

After so many months with just the grays and browns of winter and early spring, the colors of the spring flowers are a welcome sight. The grass has greened up, and the phlox, daffodils, and magnolia are in full flower with pink, lavender, and yellow. Although I am primarily a seascape painter, covering my canvasses… read more

I’m so glad you have stopped by to see my webpage. It’s a work in progress, but I have posted many photos of my oil paintings. Enjoy, and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send them to me at patnickersonart@yahoo.com. Thanks!

As a Cape Cod artist with a full summer season, I look forward to the quieter days of winter and spring that allow more time for me to focus on my painting. This past January, I was lucky enough to take a two-day workshop with Don Demers, and from January through mid-May, I have been… read more
