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.

Your beach

Hi Rach - recognize this bench? It's the one at your beach, the day we took pictures down there. Hope we're painting tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it.

dog days

I am in love with mary.

the Virgin Mary, my pitt

Sweet Mary, the Pitt

As I mentioned, I'm dog sitting.

Sunday eggs

Jayne, if your days are anything like mine, getting to painting is H-A-R-D. I have been keeping a drawing journal, however, for Charlie'ds dog, Mary who I'm dog sitting for. I will post some of those drawings in a bit..
Rache, I know what you mean. I haven't had ANY time to paint, which is why I've been using pastels. I did these from photos I took at Higgins a couple of months ago. Hopefully, later today I can get to a quick painting. We'll see. . .

Monday

Jayne I cut the limes, and will have to make a drink now, I think.

Pears, pears, pears

Hi Rache - didn't get to paint much today. . . sadly. Maybe Tuesday.

Sunday

There are all these cows around me Jayne, Indian Cows. Holy cows. SO many cows.

Saturday

I'm going to get some mileage out of these limes, Jayne, I can tell. They were so small and round and fun to paint, I'm going to paint a few more after I walk the dogs.
And I did paint again, in the same spot, but the shadows are so different! Jayne, are you at the beach today?

A hint of green

Well, it's true, Rache. There are hints of spring. On my way down to Crescent Beach with the dogs this morning, I couldn't help but notice the bits of green poking through the brown, winter grass. At last. . .Jayne, I did get outside this afternoon, sat on the deck and painted this leaning statue.

Tuesday Night

Here is the Tuesday night effort. Three apples, looking to me now, just what they are Jayne (you know what I'm talking about).

Wishful thinking.

Still not quite warm enough to get outside so I painted from one of my favorite pictures of the marsh I run by all the time.

At last

At last, a day without a fire to put out. You inspired me with the tomatoes and when I saw these at Whole Foods, I couldn't resist. Although I had less than an hour, it was really nice to be back upstairs.


The apples as you know, are from Tuesday. Miss Tay Tay wanted to see them.

Above are the apples I did Tuesday night Jayne, I'm painting today, so hope to post later!
