Copley Show- sold

I was pleased to find out that my painting "Ann and Otis" was selected for the Copley Society of Art's Summer Members Show. It opens June 14 and is up until August 22, so if you're going to Newbury St. in Boston this summer, stop in.

Model A

Oil on panel, 6" x 8"
I really loved this car. Besides the picnic baskets on each running board, there were bud vases on either side of the back window, which had a tasseled shade. Very sweet.
$150.00

'52 Chevy

This car has been sitting on a lot not far from my house for a number of years, and I've been wanting to paint it since I first saw it.

Fins and fenders- sold

Oil on canvas panel, 6" x 8", $150.00
This one would turn anyone's head, wouldn't it? It's a Thunderbird, I'm fairly certain a 1956. I just heard recently that the French don't drive red cars because they attract too much attention to oneself, and that's not cool. True or not? Let me know.

'58 Corvette oil painting- sold

Oil on board, 6" x 8"

And who could resist this one?

Antique cars

Last Saturday we realized it's that time of year again, when the owners of antique cars come hang out for a few hours at the carousel in Riverside. Open up the hood and groove on doo-wop music! It's fun looking at these classics, and I decided I had to paint a few. This is a 1955 Chevy BelAir.
6"x8", oil on board.
$150.00 plus $8.00 shipping

Ruth

Usually when I'm teaching a portrait class, I do a 20 minute demo and then spend the rest of the time helping my students. I so wanted to paint this model that I found minutes here and there to keep working on this. Could be better, but I like it.

Soft Breeze- sold

Oil on board, 8"x6"
Looking through some photos from the beach last summer, I decided I had to paint this one.

Work in progress

Oil on canvas, 20"x20"
I was out painting last week when a photographer from the Providence Journal happened to spot me.

I ended up having my picture in the paper, working on the above (as yet unfinished) painting of the Washington Bridge, which spans the river between East Providence, where I live, and Providence . One of my students told me yesterday that she saw the photo and thought it made me look like I gained 50 lbs. So, for the record, it's a VERY bulky down jacket.

It's spring

Oil on panel, 8"x10"
Lately I've had no desire to paint in the studio. All I can think about is going outside. This house is next door to the wildlife refuge in Tiverton RI. Email me for purchase information.

On another note, my blog was one of several chosen this week as "Best of the Web" by Pocketchange Lifestyle Blog. They have a lot of really interesting stuff and a Tip Center if you're shopping for- who knows what.

Oil on canvas panel, 10" x 8"
From my Monday night portrait group. I think I'm getting the hang of painting with four colors.
