Fisherman and Swimming Hole

 It's been a difficult painting time...just not inspired.  Swimming Hole, 16 x 20 has issues...perhaps too many heroes.  I started on white rather than a toned canvas and I think that was a mistake.  I kept working it but finally have left it this way.  Fisherman is 9 x 12 and I toned the canvas and had fun with it....remembering fun!

Off to Saranac Lake to teach a two day workshop  as an intro to the Adirondack Plein Air Festival (I am juror of awards).  Still some space left in the workshop...should be a challenging week.

Come paint Croatia with me!

There are still some spots open for my Croatia workshop Oct 4 to 13.  We paint the gorgeous island of Korcula.  I got great tickets to Dubrovnik for less than $800!  Here is the link to the organization and you can read about what makes it so great to come.

Looking Towards Fishermans Coop...Swans Island

12 x 16 oil on board..plein air for the most part.

Red White and Blue and Reflections

 Two little ones from today...not plein air though.  Red White and Blue is 8 x 8 oil on board and Reflections is 8 x 10 oil on board

First plein air Swans Island

Well, it was sunny this morning...first day at Swans Island in Maine.  Went out to paint early...which was fun, and all...but frankly, being buzzed by bees and horseflies takes a bit of the joy out of plein air painting
8 x 10 oil on board

Marshfield

12 x 24 oil on canvas, "Marshfield"

Landgrove Workshop

 Just back from a workshop with wonderful students and a fabulous place...Landgrove Inn in Landgrove, VT.  My favorite workshop destination!  Here are some pastel and oil demos
