Landgrove Inn workshop

 Had a wonderful figure workshop at Landgrove Inn in Landgrove, VT.  Great group and here are some of the demos

Swans Island interior

My favorite place to hang out inside the Swans Island house...the view outside goes to the ocean.  Oil on board

More from Maine

 Had a cold foggy day and did the red barn from a photo I took the day before.

The little shack was from a better morning on location.  I may do some adjusting still

small plein airs maine

 A couple of small oil plein airs from Swans Island

Lake and rocks Maine

 Did these little oils.  The rocks started plein air but in all honesty, I did have to make lots of changes inside.  Hard to see the colors in the full  sun...and I no longer bring an umbrella since the number of times it blew away got tiresome.  I am in awe of the many beautiful coastal paintings I see...this is once again out of my comfort zone.

Might still work some more on the lake and trees.  I'll repost it if I do.

Maine Bike

First morning on Swans Island.  Got up to go paint...felt a little lazy.  As I was heading out the door I saw my bike and the light and thought..try it.  It's out of my comfort zone but fun.  8 x 8 oil

AIS 19Th Annual

Very honored to be accepted into the American Impressionist Society's 19th Annual National Juried Show.  I am in the process of jurying another show and it's interesting receiving this news during this process.  My hands shook as I opened up the site to see if I was accepted.  I am very sensitive to the victories and disappointments of this process and though I must do the most honest job jurying that I can, I am sorry knowing some will be rejected.
