Waiting For Rain

                                                                         4x6 oil  150.

Down the Street from my Studio at Salmon Falls Artist Mills, in Rollinsford, NH is a farm with a whole field of these cows.  Every once in a while I'll ride by a catch them by the side of the road where I can get some great photos to paint from, if the weather is not conducive to plein air painting. I love the expression!  Also, I'm having a lot of fun painting these minis in addition to my larger works.

Small Works Show

                                                           At The Egyptian Room
                                                                       5x7 oil
                                                                         200.
This painting took its inspiration from a recent trip to Paris where I spent Sunday looking at not only the great art, but also at the people studying it! A double bonus!



This painting as wells as several other of my small works will be on view at the Levey Gallery on State Street in Portsmouth, NH as part of their Holiday "200. and under" show. I will also have another two larger paintings on display in their Main Salon.  This show runs from Dec. 1 thru Dec. 31 with an opening reception on Friday Dec. 3 from 5-8 pm.  The opening coincides with Portsmouth's Art Around Town Artwalk, a fun and festive event.  Stop in if you can make it!

The Lobstermen Series

                                                                       Strong Back
                                                                 4 x 6 Oil on Panel    
                                                                            175.

I am fortunate to live on the coast and often catch the lobstermen  unloading their daily catch. I have done many paintings of them and never tire of it, so from time to time one of the series will pop up here.
This was one of the studies done for a larger painting I have been working on in the studio this week. I will publish it when complete.  They are hard workers and do have to have strong backs...and great shoulders!

Open Studios

                                                          Wind Dancer  8x10   SOLD

Just finished with our open studios today where this painting of Wind Dancer sold among others.  Was so nice to get such a lot of great feedback on my art and meet so many nice people. Very interesting to hear how people respond to the work. Alot of  fun.

Beach Walkers

                                                             The Beach Walkers
                                                     5 x 5 oil on gallery wrap canvas
                                                                     200.
This painting was done during our very short but beautiful summers here on the coast of Maine. It is on a gallery wrapped canvas where the sides of the canvas continue the painting and it can be hung without a frame or free standing on a flat surface. Oh... the memories of warm walks on the beach.
