Daily Paintings

Gilsland Winter 3, watercolor on handmade paper, 4"x5"

I've started doing daily paintings in watercolor from my car. It's still too cold to paint outside but it's been too long waiting for warmer temps. Many of these paintings will be done at Gilsland Farm, the Audubon sanctuary in Falmouth, Maine. I've added a new blog page just for these paintings. You can see it listed over in the righthand side bar. You can also see these watercolors in my website portfolio, look under watercolors at http://www.kathleendaughan.com/

If you're lucky enough to be in Maine you can stop by the studio to see the paintings in person.

Valentine Bazaar at Lucid Stage

This is one of the fun art pins I've made for the Valentine Bazaar at Lucid Stage. You can see all of them in my studio at Lucid during the festivities on Sunday, Feb. 13, from 10-4. It's going to be a fun day. Balloons, face painting, craft vendors and continuous performances by a variety of entertainers. Something for all the family. We hope you stop by 29 Baxter Blvd, Portland.

Meet Ruby

Ruby is our new studio dog. Well, really she's a theater dog but when she visits my studio she's a studio dog. Isn't she cute?? Already she has learned not to bark at theater visitors. Come and visit Ruby, me and Ruby's mother Liz at Lucid Studio, 29 Baxter Blvd, Portland. She'd love to see you.

New Fall Paintings

Marsh Glow, oil on gallery wrap canvas, 12x12. SOLD

This was painted at Scarborough Marsh in October on one of the last good painting days of the season. We had so many wonderful days to paint outside this summer, it's hard to adjust to late fall. But we were lucky to get this beautiful day at one of our favorite places to paint when the fall colors were in full force. The marsh was very colorful this day. There are more fall paintings posted on my website: http://www.kathleendaughan.com/. Look at the porfolio pages under oil paintings.

The Edge of Light
