At last I have a minute to update my blog. There are so many things to keep up with these days. I am on facebook, linkedIn, email and this blog. I teach at two places: DeCordova Museum School and the Corwin Russell School and I do private lessons out of my studio or in student's studios. I need time to paint!!! AS always. Here is a 38X38 inch painting of a pot. Sometimes the most straight forward subject matter can be the most interesting. I made it interesting by focusing on all the reflections on the surface. I love the challenge to get the reflections to wrap around the surface.

My latest paintings which I will post once I get photos of these, are an abundance of glasses, another dress painting, (another in a series) and 3 fried eggs. Believe it or not the last painting I dreamt about and had to do a painting of this. It's funny how my brain works. The painting is 36X36 and I loved all the blisters and brown crust that I had to paint to create an illusion of three fried eggs. Subject matter is everywhere!!! Just look around.

Exhibition

Places Visited:  The Landscape

Reception:  Nov. 15, 2-4,  Exhibition Dates:  Nov. 3 - Dec. 26

Where:  Acton Memorial Library, 486 Main Street, Acton, MA

This Exhibit will have landscapes from Swans Is. and Brooklin Maine as well as locations around MA.    

 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. 

This is my pallet on location for the landscape and next will be the painting.

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.
