One Looks to the East

 Here’s the first of three small daisy paintings. Painted from direct observation- 6x6 cradled wood panel, wired for hanging or sitting on a mantle/ shelf. Perfect for holiday giving. The title One Looks to the East refers to the hope that each new day brings.

 

Painting & Halloween from the Lowcountry

Painting with gouache at the Hilton Head Motorcoach Resort where we spend as much time as we can- it’s been a glorious two weeks. This is the view looking out from our lot- see photo reference below. Keeping things simple and small as I struggle with back issues. But being creative is certainly a great pain-reliever…get in the zone and you’ll see… no worries at all!

Did this gouache the day before from inside our motorhome- looking out the dinette window to our beautiful magnolia tree. This resort is known for the old-growth canopy of wonderful trees- keeps it cool and shady when the days are hot. Love the lowcountry!

An Apple a Day

On the road in the motorhome- set up a simple still life- on the picnic table at our campsite in Pigeon Forge. Fall in Tennessee was beautiful so I indicated those shapes and colors in the background. 8x8 on a panel.

 

 

The Lotus Blooms

 So happy to send this sweet painting of the Lotus Pond in Wickford to a new home. This place is known by photographers, artists, and botanists all over Rhode Island. Spectacular!

No Expectations

Moonlight was painted without any reference, on a night I had watched the moon come up from my deck. Frustrated with some physical issues that have prevented me from painting plein air this summer, I just went into the studio without any plan. 

Why not just push paint around? No expectations, no agenda. 

Not how I usually work at all, but it worked without my having to try too hard. 

Magic. Do you believe in magic? Let go and see what happens.

Finished & SOLD!

 So happy to finally finish this big 36x36” painting. It started with a DM from an old friend, and I took on the challenge- big and happy flowers with a white background. Hollyhocks and roses, images I had saved just because! In the meantime, I got Covid (even though I am fully vaccinated) and everything went on hold until I got my energy back. I contacted my friend and explained that the painting was finished and that she had no obligation to buy it but she fell in love and now everyone is thrilled. I was inspired to paint these images and am just delighted that my vision touched her heart. Thank you!
