Peppers and tomatoes- sold

Oil on canvas, 6" x 6"
Some of the last produce from my garden. Can't believe summer's almost over.
I won't be blogging next week, or shipping paintings. Be back Sat., 9/25.

Wild berries- sold

Oil on canvas, 6" x 6"
I picked these while we were out painting at the Narrow River. I don't know what they are- they're the size of cherries. The ripe ones had fallen on the ground, and were yellow or yellow-brown. If you know what they are, let me know!
I'll be teaching a few classes in October. Plein air class on Saturday morning in the Providence area, October 2, 9, and 16. Contact me if you're interested.
A still life class at the Portsmouth Art Guild on Saturday mornings, Oct. 23- Nov. 13.
And, also at the Portsmouth Art Guild, a workshop I'll be teaching with artist Mike Rooney, Loose and colorful landscapes.

Narrow River

Oil on panel, 8" x 10"
The Narrow River winds down to Narragansett Beach and is a popular place to kayak. My friend Ann and I went painting there the other day.

Bartender with citrus fruits-sold

Oil on panel, 6" x 8"
This guy was tending the bar at McCormick and Schmidt in downtown Providence. They always have a big bowl of oranges, lemons and limes at the end of the bar, a vibrant note of color in an otherwise dark interior (except for the TV, which I might have left out except it framed his head so nicely.)

The Beehive Cafe

Oil on panel, 8" x 10"
People kept telling me that the Beehive Cafe in Bristol had the best coffee and pastries in town, and yesterday I finally had the chance to try it for myself, when I met my students and we decided to paint right across the street. I skipped the pastry, but can verify that the coffee was excellent. I have to say, the thick slabs of French toast I saw being put on the grill looked really good too.

A Bit of Orange

Oil on panel, 8" x 10"
I did this about a month ago when my friend Jan was able to take a day off and go painting with me. This is in Tiverton RI.

Red roses on pink

Oil on canvas, 6" x 6"
Just got back from a little vacation in the lovely state of Vermont. Of all the New England states, it's the one we're the least familiar with, so we decided to try to correct that. We camped, biked, swam, and also spent a couple of nights in the city of Burlington. It's really a great little college town, fabulous views of Lake Champlain, lots of restaurants, very bike friendly. I just started a blog, RideWalkHikeBike, if you want to read about it.
I'm also the featured artist today on the Facebook page of Zatista.com. Zatista is a website devoted to connecting buyers and sellers of contemporary original art.
