The Reservation- Sold

Oil on canvas, 6" x 6"

Another restaurant painting. 

A Lovely Evening- Sold

Oil on canvas, 6" x 8"

I was asked to do a few more of these little restaurant scenes and have happily complied. This is a popular restaurant in Providence. It doesn't have a sign- just a big fork.

Spring Bouquet- Sold

Oil on canvas, 6" x 8"

I try every spring to do at least one painting of daffodils. We have so many coming up in our yard, it would seem like a waste not to. 

Frame shop window

Oil on board, 8" x 10"

I think the guy who runs this place is a bachelor...

Tree Shadow-sold

Oil on board, 8" x 10"

Farm truck-sold

Oil on canvas, 6" x 8"

I was wrong yesterday- Rhode Island is THREE hours later, not four.

This farm is in Tiverton, RI, in a lovely spot. You can see Narragansett Bay in the distance.

Thomas St. in the rain-sold

Oil on canvas. 6" x 8"

Didn't have time to post yesterday before leaving for the Handicraft Club. I'm really enjoying this teaching gig- thanks, ladies!

Also, I've gotten comments from people who are amazed that I'm up at 4Am to make these postings. I'm not - blog time is Google time, and Google is on the west coast. Rhode Island is 4 hrs. later.

Flowers and pears

Oil on canvas, 16" x 20"

Yellow house

Oil on canvas, 6" x 8"

Spring's finally here

Oil on canvas, 6" x 8"

Yesterday afternoon was so nice- finally!- I got into my car with my pochade box and drove around for a little while, saw the sun on this house, pulled over, put the windows down and painted. Not the greatest painting, but it sure felt good to be out on a spring afternoon.

Beach bocce

Oil on canvas, 8" x 10"

I've been wanting to paint these ladies for a while, and finally did it. This is a study; I want to try a larger version.

I took a workshop with Milt Kobayashi once, whose work I love; instead of using white he uses a light yellow. Recently I bought a tube of unbleached titanium white. It's a funny color, kind of like putty, and I used it as my lightest light in this painting.

Green Adirondack- Sold

Oil on board, 5" x 7"
