Upcoming Show

Opening reception May 6, 3-5

Mount Washington

Last week I took a trip to Mount Washington in Bretton Woods, NH. I was lucky enough to spend some time at the base of the Presidential Range and watch the changing colors of the mountains as the day progressed. I've done 4 watercolors on this subject. You can see them all on my pleinair blog (A Plein Air Painters Journal) which is over on my website: www.kathleendaughan.com

Facebook Painting Marathon

We have a painting challenge going on over on Facebook this month. This week I've been posting watercolor paintings. You can see all of them on the portfolio page of my website: http://www.kathleendaughan.com/

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.

Art and Craft show at Lucid Stage

The arts and crafts show at Lucid Stage is tomorrow (Sat Dec 11) and Sunday (Dec 12) from 9-3. There are over 40 artists and craftsmen represented. Hot chocolate and a raffle. I'll have my studio open with cards, prints, art blocks, handmade paper and of course paintings. Hope you can stop by. Lucid is at 29 Baxter Blvd, not far from Hannaford Plaza in Portland.

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

Pastel on textured paper, 5x5 image, 12x12 matted in black frame

I'm very pleased that Dozier Bell has juried this pastel into the River Arts Show "Anything Goes". The opening reception is Friday November 12 from 5-, Main St in Damariscotta. It should be a very interesting show. The show goes through January 8. Stop by if you can.
