Mount Battie, 8/11

Jayne, I'm going to try to be more regular about posting...JOIN ME! 6 x 8 oil on plein air board.

Point Lookout

6 x 8 oil on canvas

A view from SMCC on a beautiful afternoon...

The Point

Chuck and I painted at the point last night, what a pretty night it was!

Bath Bridge

Jayne, will we ever paint together again? Post what you are doing. This painting was part of the "third Friday Art Walk" in Bath.

8" x 8" oil on canvas: Macworth Island

Okay Jayne, it's time to get to work! Chuck and I painted at Macworth yesterday, it was so great. The tide came up so fast, his french easel and feet were under water, persistent Charles...he painted until his feet were wet.

Lemons and Wine

The last of the birds

and finally, sky2 is done. Sky 3 has already been started. I sketched these three at the beach day before yesterday when the sky had a really spring color to it, and the gulls had congregated on a fishing boat. I took picture with my cell phone as they flew off. Jayne, when are you going to organize our blog. Also, I'm sad that we didn't get our sweet model tonight.

I love those Jayne!! And I want to try that paper, not with this painting, but maybe one of the landscapes, (Texas, maybe?) Anyway, here is the first of three in the sky series I told you about. I don't know what possessed me, the gulls, I guess, it was just so pretty on the water yesterday...

Look!

Rache - I wanted to show you the watercolors I had framed at your mother's shop (the wonderful House of Frames on Broadway in South Portland!). She's having that 50% off sale. It was such a good deal I had to frame some of these old watercolors that were just laying around.
PS. I also made some cards and have lots of this paper if you ever want to make some. . .

Spy

Dogsitting for Spy, my sweet muse.

So, I did not quit, after all.

Finally finished this one, it isn't easy being solely responsible for bringing rain during a drought, but as you can see by the clouds in these last two, as always, I have managed.

I can't help it, I'm in Texas.

Dripping Springs

It's my dad's front yard, here in Drippin' Springs. Nobody ever looks at this blog or ever comments on it and I am gonna quit soon.

Rocks at the Point on Willard Beach

Jayne, I hope that e-mail was about posting, and that you have done some painting!

Ink Washes

Ink wash Jayne, are you ready for that? Maybe on Tuesday?

Monday in Class

Oh Jayne...maybe you'll come and paint with me next Monday outside at the beach?

Chadwick Sidewalk

JAYNE HANLEY I MISS YOU. Please post. Are you mad at me? Are you quitting the blog? Here is the painting I did of The sidewalk in front of Chadwick Street. It is 12 x 16.

Overcast Monday

Studying colors, and their neutrals made this a perfect pleinair day.

Monday's Homework

We were asked to paint trees and skip detail...a perfect assignment for me, since I feel completely incapable...

Tuesday Night peppers

Here are my peppers, Jayne, are you posting yours? I miss you, and our exchanges. It's time to start up again, k???

Wednesday's in class

Jayne this was our first plein air work in class, I wish you could see them all, they are so nice! I can see this will be a fun class for me, and a great learning experience.

Wednesday's homework

Okay Jayne, the assignment was, black and white, then color. I took it one step further and said, some detail, less detail. It was tough to do this with different light each time, I should've sat still! Your turn!

Tuesday Peaches

Jayne, please post your peaches! They were so soft looking and nice.

Willard Point

Okay Jayne, as you know, I started this one last summer, did the underpainting and then quit. It has been in my upstairs bedroom for too long, I finally dusted it off and finished it.

Willard Beach

I promised I'd post this, Jayne, and am still struggling with how to capture afternoon light.

Chadwick Street

Hi Jayne, look--you can see the shadow of my fingers holding this oil sketch! I sat outside while the sun was going down and lost light so fast. Maybe I'll sit out again later today at the same time to fill in some detail, and see what I missed!

cherries

I thought you might stop by after your appointment, and waiting, I ate most of the good lookin' cherries Jayne, here's what was left!

Back on track?

Okay Jayne, we painted glass tonight, and missed you terribly. Let's get back on track!!

Pond Cove

Hi Rache. This is from a photo that Judy took early one morning, at the end of one of our runs this week. There was a light fog hovering over the back of the marsh - it was hard to capture in paint.
