Summer Reading

What can I say.  Sometimes it seems like my brush has a life of it's own.  This painting took  many twists and turns but I am so glad I was able to complete it.  I am taking a little break while my son is home for the next week.   As much as I love to paint and I am looking forward to spending time with Sam. Hopper is another favorite painter of mine. I suppose I have the Cape on my mind these days as well!   This painting is 11x14 painted on canvas. For sale in my Etsy shop. 

Resting Gardener

This was one of those paintings that I struggled with and kept making changes.  I almost gave up on it this morning but I am glad I stuck with it.  It's another small piece but says a lot.  8x10 on stretched cotton and linen  for sale in my etsy shop. 

Manchester By The Sea

Saturday, July 24Th I will be showing my work at Manchester By The Sea Arts Festival. After spending last weekend in hip Portland Maine and then a few days in Harwichport MA. destiny was calling to create more ocean themed paintings. This is one of them. This piece is 11x14 done on cotton and linen. The sides have been painted so no frame is needed. For sale in my Etsy shop.

Miss Coral 's Garden

Here is my second whimsical pattern painting. Coral doesn't represent anyone I know personally, but I imagine that if you found someone sitting in a chair under the sea, this is probably what she would look like~ This piece is 11x14 done with acrylics on stretched cotton. The sides have been painted so it can be hung with out a frame. For sale in my Etsy shop.

Time Waits For No One
