Swans Island, ME 2015

Sunny Maine Morning

On the Docks

After struggling with watercolor in Alvaro Castagnet's wonderful workshop, I'm back heading towards my comfort zone...but still struggling.  Today I did Sunny Maine Morning and finally remembered why I love to paint.

Check out upcoming workshops in New London, NH in August and Jackson, NH in September.

A couple of figures

Am I done?

In the studio and did a couple of figure oils on canvas.  Summer is a hard time for me to feel motivated...just want to swim, read and bike...oh yeah, and eat!

Morning Tea

Colorful Camden, ME

This 12 x 16, "Colorful Camden, ME" oil on canvas was another demo in looking at shapes and not worrying about what they are.  My students kept asking..."Are you starting to paint actual objects?"  and I kept saying no, I am only looking at shapes.

Race Day

"Race Day"  a 9 x 12 oil on canvas.  That light by the second horse hoof is not there...it's green.

Joan's Garden

My friend Joan has the most beautiful little courtyard garden.  The light dappled it so invitingly.  "Joan's Garden" is a 12 x 16 oil on canvas
