Oil on canvas on panel, 8" x 10"

I got back from Canada last Thursday, went painting with my friend Ann on Friday morning in Jamestown. It was a beautiful morning, the surf was pretty wild.

... and here's a third painting from that same morning.

Fort Wetherill 2

Oil on panel, 8" x 10"

I'm back from Charleston- what a lovely little city. If you haven't been there, I'd recommend it. Lots of history, beautiful architecture, shopping, restaurants and art galleries. Like a little Disneyland!

The painting above was done the same morning as the previous post. I've fallen in love with this place, can't wait to get back there to paint again.

Same spot, about 90 minutes later. The brown area in the front is the tops of trees. I tried painting some skinny trunks and branches but they looked really clunky, so I ended up using my palette knife to scrape/ blend them and realized the scratchy texture of the knife on the panel was perfect.

I went painting with my friend Ann on Thursday at Fort Wetherill, near Newport RI. It was a really beautiful day, the water was blue-green and the waves were kicking up, probably due to storms we've had lately.
