I'm preparing pieces for the Gallery in Boothbay Harbor. I'm posting these here first in case anyone wants one before they go to the Gallery.

Morning, Scarborough Marsh

Pastel on Wallis, 8x8 image, 14x14 framed, $280.00

I've been going through my paintings getting ready for the upcoming shows and I noticed that this piece never got posted. This is a classic image (for me) of the Scarborough Marsh. I love painting there. The colors are always changing. This one was done early in the morning when the colors were very dramatic. The image is 8x8 and is framed in a gold plein air frame. Framed size is 14x14. Shipping within the US is included. If this interests you please email me.

Gilsland Farm, spring

Pastel on sanded Wallis, 5x7, framed 10x12, SOLD

I've been able to get out more to paint lately and now I am finishing up a number of plein air pieces that I hope to get posted in the next few days.

I painted with our Pastel Painters of Maine plein air group last Thursday. This 5x7 is from that trip. Gilsland Farm is the main headquarters for the Maine Audubon Society and it is a great painting location. I've framed this original painting in a gold plein air frame. The price includes shipping within the US.

Casco Bay 1

Pastel on prepared board, 5x5, $95.00

I am finally getting outside to do some painting. It's still a little chilly but it gets warmer each day. I am so happy to be painting plein air again. Here's a colorful view of Casco Bay looking out at Mackworth Island. I'm going to be doing a Casco Bay series - this is the first one. It is matted the same as all the 5x5's to 11x14 and the price includes shipping within the US.

Waiting for Spring

Pastel on sanded paper, 5x5, Sold

It's snowing again. The only thing to post is something titled "Waiting for Spring". I painted this last year at Black Rock Farm in Kennebunkport where they had lots of pots stacked up - waiting for spring. It's supposed to be 54 degrees here tomorrow. I'll believe it when I see it.

This painting is framed in an ornate 3" wide brown wooden frame which suits the painting perfectly. The price includes shipping within the US. Email me if you're interested and I'll photograph the frame as well.

Marsh Nocturne #1

Pastel on sanded Wallis paper, 5x5, $95.00

I finally got out to paint today. Scarborough Marsh was completely deserted and a little snow was still left on the ground but it was warm enough to paint for awhile. This is a nighttime view of the marsh. The image is 5x5 and is matted in an elegant handcut white mat to 11x14, which fits a standard size frame. This original painting is available unframed for $95.00 or in a gold metal frame for $125.00. Shipping within the US is included. For more information email me.

Afternoon Glow

Pastel painting on handmade paper, 5x5, $95.00

I've been in California visiting the grandchildren. No painting got done but I have a lot of photographs to work from and our regular paint out expeditions here in Maine are about to begin, so there will be new artwork to be posted soon. Stay tuned.

Meanwhile I will repost some of the unsold pieces that have gotten lost in the archives. Here's the first repost. "Afternoon Glow" is such a soft piece that it is a reminder that the softness of spring will come -- sometime. This image is 5x5 and matted to 11x14. Shipping within the US is included. For more information see original post on Dec 10.
