(Blue) Casco Bay


Continuing with a look at the remaining unsold paintings. This view of Casco Bay is a 5x5 and is matted in an 11 x 14 mat. $95 unframed includes shipping within the United States. This is the only view I have of Casco Bay at the moment but it's on my list of paintings to do when I return to Maine. (This painting has now been sold)

I'm still in California so I thought for the year end posts I would repost some of the paintings that are still available in my gallery. Deep Woods is a plein air painting, 8 1/2 x 11 image, 14.5 x 17 in a gold plein air frame. $500.00 includes shipping within the United States. You can see the frame over on the right hand side bar.

Happy Holidays

First Snow

I'm here in not so sunny California sharing the joy of Hanukkah and Christmas with my family including the grandchildren. It's been so much fun but it doesn't look like a New England Christmas. So here is a snow scene to wish everyone a very happy holiday season.

Greeting Cards


Some of my images are now available as greeting cards on Greeting Card Universe .com. I just recieved some of the cards which I am using for Christmas cards and they are beautiful. Good quality paper and quality printing. I am very happy with them and will upload several images to choose from. You can see the assortment by clicking on the link at the top of this page which will take you to my GCU page. Amazing isn't it?? The cards are reasonably priced, you can purchase individual ones and they ship in one day. You can order them blank or with a greeting of your choice. It's easy to do and they do a great job.

Left Leaning

Watercolor on paper, 5x7, $95.00

I've been experimenting with some new watercolor/ink pencils while I am here in California. It's an easy travel medium and I love the bright colors and the interesting washes they produce. More like working with ink than watercolor. So here's my first post with my new medium. After I realized these friut have a heavy list to the left I just knew what the title had to be. Watercolor is so much easier to ship than pastel that I thought these could be purchased unframed and you can do as you like when you get it. As usual shipping within the US is included in the price.

Pastel Painters of Maine

Pastel Painters of Maine holiday show opens Friday Nov 7 with a reception for the artists at 5PM. Rivertree Center for the Arts, Kennebunkport, Maine. See events page for details. Don't miss this great show.

Time Out

I'm going to be traveling for the next couple of weeks. I'll be in NY where my husband will be receiving an award for his book "If By Sea" (see the blog link by scrolling on the righthand side bar). Then we're headed to San Francisco for awhile where I'll be doing some new plein air work and some more still life. Should be fun and hopefully some new and interesting blogs will appear.

In the meantime I have work at 4 events in the coming weeks so be sure to visit any of the shows I've listed on the events page and check over at Fine Art America (link above) and see what's happening there.

Welcome to the home page of my blog. This is where I post new work as well as updates on my artistic life.

You will find a complete portfolio of my work on my website: Kathleen Daughan Fine Art where paintings can also be purchased. Smaller paintings and jewelry are in my Etsy shop: www.kathleendaughan.etsy.com

I also have a brick and mortar gallery/studio in Nashua, N.H. in the Picker Building. Please email me for more information.
