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

Early Morning Peacham

Shrimp House

While teaching on Kiawah, we went to Rockville and did houses and trees.  But nearby some students went to this shrimp house.  I couldn't go as I was teaching, but we dropped by on the way back and I loved the scene!  I took photos though they weren't great but when I painted this, I looked at them but remembered what I'd seen that day as well.

Shrimp Boat  8 x 10 oil on canvas

Bathroom Sink

While teaching at the Landgrove Inn, I saw the sink in the bathroom of the studio.  I thought it would make an interesting subject to play with so I did this as my Monday demo.   It was an exercise in playing with "grays" and taking the ordinary and making it more.
