beach sketches

These were sketched with marker at a beach somewhere in Beverly, MA. I added the watercolor later on. I make notes of the colors- I don't trust my memory!

Paintings from an island

In September, I spent a very enjoyable weekend at the cottage of a fellow artist on Long Island, Maine. These three oils were painted en plein air with a few touch ups in the studio. The first day was very foggy which made for an ethereal atmosphere fascinating both to paint and to observe. The surrounding islands and boats were constantly drifting in and out of view.

These paintings and many more will be available for purchase on Sunday, Dec. 7 at the Celebrate Newton Arts & Crafts festival.
