Happy to have my painting included in the lobby of the Ogunquit Playhouse for the July show of “The Nutty Professor”

Remember

Marking this time with art, an opportunity to exhibit, continued work from home with clients and the addition to our family of a new rescue dog, Annie. Grateful for my own abundance while holding the awareness of all others who are suffering greatly.

SOLD!!!

Excited and happy that two paintings sold hot off the easel.

September offered me the unique opportunity to immerse myself in a week of art with four art friends.  We shared a house on the water within a mile walk of the downtown area and had stellar weather.  The beauty of the surroundings and the impetus of others doing art daily spurred me to be more creative in a week than I have been for some time.   

This 24 x 24 inch oil painting was painted on the French Riviera several years ago and is being donated to the NHSPCA auction Saturday November 17th.

Twelve of my figurative drawings are on display until May 4th as part of a four person black and white show at the Maine Jewish Museum on Congress Street in Portland.

The venue is curated by Nancy Davidson and will be part of the First Friday Art walk in April and May.

Please check out the 2018 Calendar of Artists of the Seacoast at www.FamiliesFirstSeacoast.org

My painting "Awaiting the Next Season" is the March image.  All proceeds from calendar sales benefit Families First,  a health and support center serving the seacoast area of New Hampshire.

Four of my oil paintings are included in a juried three month show at The Gallery at 100 Market Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  Check out this venue on four floors of commercial space in the downtown area.

Check out my Italy series of five oil paintings at The Clown Gallery in York, Maine on Route 1,  just off the York exit to the turnpike.  These paintings were finished in my studio after my trip to Tuscany and Umbria a year ago this past May. You can also enjoy wine and art at the monthly wine tasting at The Clown the second Friday of each month.

Back from a week at Chateau de la Napoule in southern France,  painting plein air with a group from Maine College of Art.  Multiple layers of experience and joy in the beauty of this area, the people of Provence, and the connections made with art and the people who participated.

My goal was to get some oil studies and photos from which to work once I returned home.... studies of large shapes and color pushing towards the abstract.  That goal was realized and accompanied by an experience of sight and emotion hard to express in words.
