Seven New Pemaquid Paintings

I've just posted 7 new paintings of the Pemaquid area on my blog page that is dedicated to Pemaquid. All were painted en plein air during the last month or so. Please visit this blog link: www.kdaughanpemaquidpaintings.blogspot.com to see them all or check the portfolio page on my website: www.kathleendaughan.com



Gilsland Farm, Kresque Point, Stroudwater and Kennebeck River

It's been a difficult month weather wise to get any outdoor painting done. Here are 4 "art squares"  that I was able to sneak in between the fog and the raindrops. You can see more about these paintings by visiting my website: www.kathleendaughan.com

Stroudwater 5, 4x4 oil on panel

Kresque Point 3, 4x4 oil on panel

                                                                                     Gilsland Spring 2, 4x4 oil on panel

Kennebunk River 3, 5x5 oil on panel

Plein Air Painting

It's been a long, cold, snowy winter and now a long, cold, drizzly spring. Hard to get out to do much plein air. I thought today I would post my daily painting wall that I've put together in the studio. I'm hoping the weather will improve so that I can add more paintings to this wall. The individual paintings shown here can be seen on my website: www.kathleendaughan.com. Just click on the portfolio link and then on the daily painting box. Better still, stop by the studio and see them for yourself. These little paintings are fun to collect. I will also accept commissions for paintings of your special place.

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.
