Summer News

The summer has been busy with shows! I am happy to say that I am now being represented by a new gallery in Kennebunk called The Hive. What a great addition to the revitalization of down town Kennebunk. These are the three pastels showing in the gallery.

Sunlight Path

Pastel 18x12

• Possibly the first spring painting I've completed so far this season(stopped painting when I got bronchitis and didn't get back to painting since the snow!). A path off the Bridal path that was saturated in sunlight. This is along the marsh behind my house.

Winter Scenes

"Horsing Around" Pastel 12x16
Working on the winter scenes before snow melts...ha, like that wont't happen around here until April!

Winter

Pastel 12x16  I have started working on my winter references finally, and I may occassionally go back to the fall photos. Thanks to a friend's photo from her morning run at Parson's Beach before all the real big storms started!  I can't even think of braving this weather like some of the plein air painters; kudos to you all!

Fall Series

Brilliant Afternoon Shadows 12x18 pastel
Finally I got some finishing touches and photographed this painting. It's funny, as an artist I should know color but.....It takes me forever to figure out what looks good when editing the photo.

This is what I started Wednesday(I actually worked a full day) during the snow storm with everyone home and currrently trying to finish today....and walk/run the dogs at beach (got to make low tide at 11:30am!!), housework, dinner, have I missed anything?! :)

12x18 pastel on Wallis

Snug Harbor Pumpkins

I decided to stick with this scene even though I didn't want to continue the second day into it. I see now that it is photographed and posted that I'll probably work a little on the perspectives of the fence....the things you don't see until you step away and see it in a different manner.
