Portrait

2012-02-13T06:47:00.000-05:00

Oil on panel, 9" x 12"
I've been sticking with a limited palette when I go to my portrait group. Black, white, yellow ocher and cad red light, aka the Zorn palette. I'm teaching some workshops on using it, one in March at the
Portsmouth Arts Guild, and one in July.

Hemingway's Cats

2012-02-03T07:40:00.003-05:00

Oil on panel, 6"x6"
In Key West you can take a tour of Ernest Hemingway's home. One of the major talking points of the tour (after his wives) is the cats. There are at least 40 of them, all supposed to be descendants of one of Hemingway's. His cat had double paws, aka 6 toes, and nearly half of the cats at the house have the same paws. During the day they have run of the house, although at night they're shooed outside because they would set off the motion detector. This one was sitting on the fountain on the front walk.

Key West chickens

2012-02-01T07:54:00.001-05:00

Oil on panel, 6" x 6"
We were in Key West for a few days of our trip to Florida. If you've ever been there, you've seen the chickens and roosters everywhere. The story we were told is that cock fighting used to be legal, but when it was banned the birds were let go to roam the streets at will. We were there less than 20 minutes when we saw a chicken crossing the street almost get run over by a tourist on a bicycle. We met someone who complained about hearing roosters crowing in the wee hours, but fortunately we never had to put up with that.

Sailboats by the bridge

2012-01-28T08:30:00.001-05:00

Oil on panel, 8" x 8"

I haven't posted for a while because I've been in Florida for the last 10 days. Really nice- in the 80's and sunny every day. Back in Rhode Island now, everything is gray and brown and chilly, if not cold.
This is a painting I did not long before I left, sitting in my car. This bridge connects East Providence, where I live, with Providence. I've painted it a number of times because I love the way the sun hits it both morning and afternoon.

Skiffs- sold

2012-01-10T08:23:00.002-05:00

Oil on panel, 6"x6"
I've been taking photos of skiffs over the last few years and the idea of doing a series of paintings of them has lodged in my head. I'm thinking of doing them large- sofa size, as the ads say. Why skiffs? They're humble, unassuming, essential, but used mostly as transport from the beach or dock to the REAL boat. Painted large, you could almost imagine yourself jumping in and gliding away.

A Bit of Whimsy

2011-12-04T08:40:00.006-05:00

I was doing some much needed cleaning in my studio yesterday when I came across this remnant from my previous life as a greeting card illustrator. These are watercolor illustrations of a card collection called "Kitty Cove", where we visit a charming little seaside town populated by cute kitties ( :

They're all a little under 8" x 6", painted on Arches watercolor paper, and were designed to be diecut along the top (except for the horizontal one). Most of them also have a kind of blank area where the title would be dropped in (like, Happy Birthday!). I know there were originally 20 designs; I don't know what happened to the other two. If I were to do them again I'd try to paint them a little more loosely, but overall, I'm actually still kind of happy with them.

They're for sale, if you'd like one or several (I think they'd be nice in small groups in a kid's bedroom) so if you're interested email me. I'm selling them for $50. each plus $5/shipping (if you buy more than 1, you only pay one shipping charge.)

T is for Tavern- sold

Another painting of my favorite building in Providence. This and others can be seen at the Foundry Holiday Sale, which opened last night. My friend Ed Huff shot a number of 360 degree panoramas at the opening, fun to look at, which you can see here. Be sure to look all the way up, and all the way down!

Oil on panel, 10"x8"
I got off to a great start with this portrait, but then the model took a break and never could quite get into the pose she was in before. In a three-quarter view it REALLY shows if your anatomy isn't right, and eventually I stopped trying to fix it and wiped off a chunk to repaint. It was toward the end of the evening, so I didn't have much time left, but I was reasonably happy with the result, considering.

On another note, the opening reception for Save the Bay is tonight (Thursday). $25.00 gets you food, drink, and some great company. If you're going to donate to a good cause, what's better than this? If you're in the Providence area, come on down. Oh, and did you say that piece of artwork on the invitation looks familiar? Yes, it is mine...

Painting with Four Colors

2011-10-23T13:13:00.000-04:00

I really enjoyed teaching a workshop on Friday and Saturday about using a limited palette of ivory black, yellow ochre, cadmium red light and white. Everyone created a color chart the first morning, so they could see the full range of color you can get from so few colors. Seen all together, they have a really lovely harmony. In the afternoon, students painted still lifes, using the same colors, and the next morning did a portrait from a live model.

The greatest thing, when you're teaching, is to see people suddenly start understanding what you're talking about. My students had very little or no experience painting from a model, and were thrilled that this palette of colors actually takes a lot of the guesswork out of mixing color. You can mix almost any flesh or hair color, and they all harmonize. So all that's left are little things like drawing. And values. And edges. Stuff like that...

I so enjoy using just four colors to paint these portraits. It simplifies the decision making in mixing color and provides a harmony to the overall painting. Email me for price.

Oil on panel, 10" x 8"
Both of these portraits are done with only 4 colors- white, black, cadmium red light, and yellow ochre, otherwise known as the palette used by Anders Zorn. I'm teaching a 2-day workshop for the
Portsmouth Arts Guild in a few weeks, called A little paint, a lot of color, where, using those 4 colors, we'll do a color chart, work from still lifes, and on the second day work from a model. There's still room if you want to sign up.

There's something about spectator sports that makes people want to eat, and something about polo that makes them want to dress up. The result can be some nice painting material...

Opening at the F.A.N. Gallery

2011-09-04T14:32:00.000-04:00

Everything went very well at the opening Friday night in Philadelphia. Here I am with Fred, the gallery owner, a man who is wonderfully passionate about painting. The show looked great, if I do say so myself, and several paintings sold while I was there at the opening.

It turns out that the first Friday of the month is a big time in Old City, Philadelphia, with galleries staying open until 9PM and lots of funky bars and restaurants in the neighborhood. Philadelphia Style magazine published a great article about First Fridays which included an interview with Fred.

The gallery has a new website and a new blog, where they published a short interview with me. The show is up until October 1, although it will be closed Sept. 21-25 because of attendance at the USArtists show, which is a fundraiser for the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

Primary colors

2011-08-22T12:46:00.000-04:00

Oil on canvas, 11" x 14"
In the old city of Quebec, any corner you turn may hold charming sights, like yellow houses with blue doors and baskets of red flowers.

On another note- things artists don't want to hear on the eve of their big one-person show:
- The economy is tanking.
- There's a hurricane due to land on the east coast on the day your work is due at the gallery, 300 miles away.
And if it's true that everything comes in threes, there may be one more surprise coming...

Ann and Otis

Oil on canvas, 16" x 20"
From one of my favorite photos, a painting of my friend Ann and her dog. Look who's got the couch...
This will be in my show at the F.A.N. Gallery, coming up very shortly. I really like the work I've been doing the last two weeks- wish I'd been painting like this all along, I would have had all the work I needed weeks ago. As it is, I'm making a last minute push to get everything finished, varnished, and framed.

T is for tavern-sold

2011-08-04T07:36:00.001-04:00

Oil on canvas, 20" x 24"
This is one of my favorite buildings in downtown Providence, and I've painted it several times. The light in the afternoon is very intriguing.
Getting ready for this show at the FAN Gallery, I've worked a lot from photos on the computer. One thing I've found is that it seems to be easy, particularly on larger pieces, to let your darks become too light. Photos on a monitor have so much more light and color than a print of the same image! Before you know it, all your shadows are too light and you've lost the contrast that you need. I had to work back into this to reestablish the darks. It can be helpful to make a print so you can find a happy medium, because prints are hard to work from too- the lights are too light and the darks are too dark. The truth is somewhere in between...

In the shade

2011-06-23T10:05:00.001-04:00

Oil on canvas, 11" x 14"
Ann and I posed for each other the other day. She put me under a rose arbor, in the sun, a pretty spot but after half an hour I felt like a chicken in a broiler. I put her in the shade, and did this in about an hour. It was interesting to paint pale skin in the shade- it had to look cool and light, but at the same time, warmer and darker than her skirt. I'm fairly happy with the result, although it would have been nice to have another hour to work on it.

My plein air class at the Portsmouth Arts Guild starts next week, and there's still room if you're interested!

State house shadow-sold

2011-05-28T07:25:00.001-04:00

Oil on canvas, 24" x 30"
This is a painting I started a long time ago (maybe 2 years?) - long enough that this view no longer exists for most people because there is a house in the way (the beginnings of the foundation are on the bottom right). I pulled it out the other day, looked at it and decided that there were just a couple of little things I needed to change- a few color/value adjustments- and now I'm fairly happy with it. It's a view of the Rhode Island statehouse in Providence from the East Side.

Shorebird and spring flowers

Lilacs at Smith Castle

2011-05-15T06:49:00.001-04:00

Oil on board, 8" x 8"
Ann and I went painting on Friday in Wickford, first at the town dock, which we eventually left due partly to the fact that a school bus full of kids pulled up (it's field trip time).

We then went to Smith Castle, which isn't a castle, it's an old farmhouse, but it's on the National Register of Historic Places and is open for tours. I was happy with this little painting, a backlit view of the house with lilacs in bloom and that lime green reflected up into the shadows.

The same bus full of kids was scheduled to show up there, which in a way turned out to be a good thing, because there were several docents on hand dressed in their period outfits (don't say costumes!) and we ended up chatting with them and taking a few pictures.

JRS Fine Art, my Providence gallery of long standing and a fixture on Wickendon St., will be closing at the end of June. Jim just wants to have fun! So if there's a piece of art you've had you eye on, now would be the time to get it. Or just stop by to say goodbye.

Pansies and plums

2011-05-08T11:22:00.000-04:00

Oil on canvas, 20" x 16"
I've really been in the mood for painting from life-- painting from photos can be so dull. These pansies were on sale so they became the subject.

Crackers and a sandwich

2011-04-25T06:46:00.001-04:00

Oil on canvas, 20" x 16"
I had to fool around with this one, eliminating a lot of clutter in the background- chairs, blankets, towels, people. I decided to just keep the towel on the ground, the little cooler and the seagull in the top left. Together they make kind of a "Z" that brings your eye down and then back up.

A still life

2011-04-16T08:19:00.000-04:00

Oil on board, 8" x 10"
I got together with some friends recently- plein air painters chomping at the bit to get outside- and we painted a still life. It was nice having someone else set it up, as that's always the hardest part. Composition, composition...

This is a quick sketch for a larger piece. I loved all the bits of red that popped up here and there. If you've ever been to New York in the winter, you know that almost everyone wears black. Those who don't are wearing gray or navy blue. So, my thanks to that one renegade woman who decided to wear red.

Oil on canvas, 11" x 14"
Lots of paintings started, not so many finished. I think this one is done; the hardest part when using photos is not overworking it. That's not so hard when painting a landscape, but when you're painting figures it can be hard to know how much rendering to do, and how much to leave to the viewer's imagination.

Time sure does fly when you're under the gun. On days when I'm not teaching, I start painting by around 7:30AM and before I know it, it's lunchtime, and then it's dinnertime. I probably won't be blogging as much because I'm working on larger pieces, but I'll still be posting at least once a week.

I've been offered a one person show at the FAN Gallery in Philadelphia in September, so for the past week I've been stretching canvases and organizing my subject matter to facilitate things. I'll need 30-40 paintings for this show- yikes!- so I'm going to be a very busy girl for months to come.
I'm not very good at coming up with titles for paintings- your suggestions for the one above are welcome!

Oil on canvas panel, 6" x 8"

I hate when museums put ropes in front of paintings, because when I'm at a museum I've got my nose right up to the surface, just like these folks. It's the only way to see how it's done.

One last painting with the same produce... It's fun to try different color and lighting looks for similar still lifes, especially when they're really small and you can get them done in an hour or two.

Portrait of Tasha

Oil on canvas, approx. 8" x 8"

Last night I went to Kate's Studio to paint the portrait model. It's been a while since I've gone, although I'm determined to get there more often. I enjoyed painting our model, a sweet if sleepy girl named Tasha.

Oil on panel, 6" x 8"
These apples and blue bucket were among a number of props I brought the other day to teach a drawing class, and after looking at them for the whole afternoon, all I could think was that I wanted to buy some daisies, plop them in the bucket, and do a little painting. So I did.

I spotted these dogs with their owner on the beach last September when I was on Cape Cod for a week. I don't know if dogs are normally allowed on the beach, I suspect not, but there were definitely a lot of people enjoying the post-season sun that day with their canine friends.

The month of December was not a very good one for painting and posting small pieces. I've been working a lot, just not on anything I wanted to post here. I do hope to remedy that, now that life has somewhat returned to normal.
