Pucker up, toots!

This little still life of lemons was so much fun.  I put them on a sheet of aluminum foil and had fun trying to keep my head still because every little movement made different reflections!   I've set up still life on foil before and it's always crazy.

Bristol Harbor Before the Wind

I loved the color of that railing against the water so I made it the 'star of the show' sort to speak.  It was a glorious morning, quiet and still, right up until the wind came up and changed EVERYTHING!   Hahahaha, wind, bugs, heat, and sun are all part of painting 'in the wild'.  Ha!

Acushnet Saw Mill Pond

This is a quiet area formerly the Acushnet Saw Mill property in Acushnet, Massachusetts.  It's been transformed into a public area with a running stream, wooden bridge, and look-out platforms.  It's lovely with songbirds, vocal bullfrogs, swans, and a variety of other wild things.

Fertility Goddess

I love figure drawing and painting.  I'm so glad there is so much interest in it again in the past few years.  There's so many groups that meet and share model costs.  There's a group every day somewhere.

Iris Season

Great to get out in the warm weather.  I'm part of a great group of painters that meet each Monday at different locations to paint outdoors.  Sometimes very generous people allow us to paint on their private properties, as was the case for this one.  Irises are one of my favorites and they don't last long.
