And his came out backwards. The finished painting is first and the pallet is second and the start of the painting is third. My mistake. This painting will be on display at the Acton Memorial Library, in Acton, MA in Nov. and December for a landscape exhibit. I hope you can make it. Sale Price is: $1050.00 plus shipping.
Daily Paintings
Daily Paintings #4 In Sept. I head up north to paint. This year I was in Brooklin, ME at a beautiful location with water on three sides. This was a new place so I worried about finding views to paint. This place was so ideal I painted there for 9 days and I did two paintings per day. What a great experience. In this blog I am showing how my pallet develops and my canvas. I like to start with some crazy colors and finish with some actual colors.

This pear was painted as a demonstration piece for a painting class. I have a lot of pears in different color combinations. This pear was done as a lesson in complimentary colors using purple, yellow and white. The size of the painting is 18X24 which is my standard size I have my students paint in. It is oil paint on canvas out of a canvas pad. It can be matted and framed. Pears are simple subjects that allow the student to explore paint mixing on the pallet, paint texture and application.
Unframed: I am selling this demo for $75. This includes shipping. You can purchase this piece by visiting my web site, pottleart.com and using pay pal.

The Artist
My whole life has been about creating and I could not be without painting, drawing and making something in the studio. I got my BFA at Syracuse University and MFA at the Museum School/ Tufts University in painting and a minor in printmaking. I teach fine arts at the DeCordova Museum School and privately to adults and children. My artwork sells and is displayed in a variety of venues, galleries, open studios, art conventions, corporate art and private collectors.
