This is a scene from the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, one of Mark’s favorite locations. Into the Mystic captures the late day sun going down in the west, casting long shadows toward the viewer and creating a shimmering harbor where distant sailboats melt into the bright glare.

While he is best known for his coastal paintings of New England, he has done notable work around the country in a variety of genres. “I brake for beauty” is a personal motto he proudly displays as his bumper sticker.
