Workin' It

This one with the crane rigging ... !

Mystic Seaport Lobster Shack

A better day for the Seaport yielded this small painting of the Lobster Shack.

Mystic Mist

A rainy day adventure.. A small but challenging view, especially with 3 umbrellas to batten down the hatches.

Sunny Skies

Quick, Quick, One hour No time Crazy!

Providence View

Just the start. I never got a chance to take photos of the finished piece. Rain came in fast. Lucky for a bit of sun.

Montgomery Farm View

First stop was this farm. Montgomery Farm View. With a storm on the horizon I didn't have much time to get this finished. I knew it might be my only chance for sunlight as the week was looking like rain every day. We were not allowed to do any painting from photos. Everything done from life.

Crum Creek View

I am back from a week long plein air event. This is one of the paintings done on site. I always love the sound of water when I am painting. So calming even with the traffic whizzing by.

Apple Lady

Newport Sunset

After the rain.

Turquoise Sun

A mad dash to the finish!

Ancient Lady Apple

This morning's enterprise.. I have been trying for three years to get her.. finally a sunny day in May in full bloom! True Luck..

Westview Sunset

After I finished up with guiding my pastel class I followed one of my students over to the beach for this view. It just got better and better. Not much time though when the sun is setting. More challenge and gut reactions to the painting of it. Not much time to analyze. It is better.
This an alla prima painting also. Alla prima means " all at once " It was done the next day after the Mystic River View.

Mystic River View

Painting is finished. One day. Done. Doing the sketch ahead was helpful in mixing the colors ahead of painting time. More trouble posting this then painting it! It was the Operator... as usual. That is why you may see three today.

Mystic River Sketch

Every trip out deserves to come back with a painting.. With Gas prices as high as they are it is only good business. This one is a 10x10 oil on linen. Now I am inspired to go back to the location with my 36x36, and attempt it on a large scale.
Should be fun.
