Art District Opening Saturday

Saturday, August 1 is the opening reception for "New Works" at The Art District in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. 6-9. I have several new pieces in the show, including High Tide and Rhythm of the Marsh 3. If you're in the area please stop in and say hello.

High Tide

Pastel on textured surface, 8.5x11 image, 14.5x17 in gold plein air frame

I'm on a roll. Nothing like a gallery deadline to get work done. I painted this piece at the Yarmouth town landing with Pastel Painters of Maine a couple of weeks ago. Got it in the frame today and it's off to the Art District tomorrow. For more information on this piece go to the landscape portfolio page, link over there on the righthand sidebar.

Rhythm of the Marsh 3

Pastel on Wallis, 16x16 image, 22x22 in gold plein air frame

I had a very productive week. I painted Wednesday at Scarborough Marsh with a group of painter friends from Facebook. We had artists from New Jersey, Texas and Maine. What fun. It was a grey overcast day but at least no rain. This painting is much larger than I have been doing recently, so I was happy to get it finished and framed so quickly. It's off to the Art District Gallery on Tuesday. More information on Rhythm of the Marsh 3 on the Marsh paintings portfolio page. Link over at the right.

Grimes Cove II

Pastel on textured board, 5.5x10 image, 10.5x15 framed

It's just started to rain again. A good day for framing. I painted this small piece on location in February on a beautiful warm day. More like summer than it is today. More information on this painting on the pastel landscape page. Link over there on the righthand side bar.

Little Sebago Gallery, New Show

The Edge of Light, pastel, 5x5 image, framed to 12x12

The new show is up at Little Sebago Gallery in Windham, Maine. It includes my painting "The Edge of Light" which is one of my favorites. The new show features "affordable" works of art. Stop by and take a look at all the wonderful pieces of art that have come together for this show.

Maine Women in the Arts

"Rockport Harbor", now at the Maine Women in the Arts Show, Kennebunkport, Maine

The Maine Women in the Arts summer show is now open in Kennebunkport at the Masonic Hall. We have fine art and crafts. There are a lot of new artists showing as well as your old favorites and the show is spectacular. Come on down and take a look. The opening reception is tonight from 5-7.

Visions of the Marsh II

Pastel on Wallis, 10x10 image, 16x16 in gold plein air frame

Back to framing after a lovely weekend. This piece is another one for the upcoming "Marsh" show at the Art District. Of course - it's my favorite - Scarborough Marsh. The colors were hard to reproduce but I think I came pretty close here to the original. More information about the painting on the Marsh portfolio page.

Visions of the Marsh I

Pastel on Wallis, 8x8 image, 14x14 in gold plein air frame

Two framed pieces in one day. I'm on a roll. (I still want it to stop raining though). This is a real plein air piece. Finished 100% on location (Scarborough Marsh). I'm doing a series "Visions of the Marsh" for an upcoming "marsh" show. This is the first piece. More information on this on the Marsh paintings portfolio page.

Pemaquid 5

Pastel on textured surface, 6x8 image, 12x14 in gold plein air frame with museum glass

It's pouring here today. In June we had 21 days of measurable rain. That doesn't count the foggy days. Now it's July 2 and it's still raining. A good day to get some framing done and remember when we could paint en plein air.
Come to think of it, it was raining the day I painted this at Pemaquid in May. No drought in Maine this year. More information on this painting on the Pemaquid portfolio page.
