After the Sail

 The sky is just magnificent at sunset. A perfect way to end a day out on the water. I took this picture walking my dog Cooper at the little beach near my house. It’s a sweet memory for me and it can be for you too. 5x5”, painted in oil on a wooden cradled panel- all ready to hang. Available from my DailyPaintworks gallery for $95. Free shipping in the US.

Lighthouse at North Rustico

 

What a dream- to travel to Prince Edward Island in our RV. This wonderful lighthouse, at the tip of North Rustico, was a joy to paint plein air. The people were so friendly and welcoming, it’s a place that’s definitely on our list of “ must return to” places. I hope the Blue Mussel Cafe survived this pandemic- as I recall the food being superb! Discovering wonderful restaurants is as much fun as finding places to paint. 

This 8x8” painting on a cradled wood panel can be purchased directly through the link of myDailyPaintworks.

It’s A Dream

 Painted plein air while on vacation in the Florida Keys. The shades of turquoise are so beautiful and the shapes of the skeletal tree fascinated me. This painting takes me back to the sun, warmth, and calm of the place. I hope it does the same for you. Available for $400, which includes a white washed frame and free shipping in the US.

Westport Tree

 A sweet landscape that speaks of long summer days. Painted plein air on a 6x6 cradled panel. 

The end of the cycle- Pods.

The cycle of the lotus bloom ends with the pods, actually they too turn brown and dried, yet remain beautiful in their own way. Can I see beyond the fresh bloom of the flower, and trust in this miraculous cycle? My New Year’s prayer.

Happy New Year from the Lotus

There’s a lotus pond near where I live in Rhode Island which fascinates me. I’ve painted there a few times, also have amassed plenty of images from my visits there. It’s beautiful in all of its stages. That’s how I’ve come to see all of us- there is no perfect time in life except this precious day! I inhabit my body with gratitude and am open to what the New Year will bring.

Kicks

 

Kicks- a 12x12 painting on a cradled panel just went home with a new collector as a gift for her daughter. These are my granddaughters’ sneakers and I painted them with a pink background for her birthday a couple of years ago, and decided to paint another version in blue. I wish I had kept some of the fabulous shoes from years ago, when I wore the highest heels and platform sandals. They would be fun to paint, but not to wear! Can you relate to me?
