In this time of greenery for the holidays, along with the cold white snow, these delicate spring

flowers were a welcome diversion.

Sunset Clouds

Hazy Marsah

12 x 16 Pastel

Sold

This is a painting I did a while ago at a wet paint auction. They are always nerve wracking for me, but this day was successful.

Autumn Golf

8 x 10 Pastel

Please email for info

This is another in a series at a local golf club, although you would never know it. It looks like a walk in the park. And we can walk it like a park, lucky neighbors we are. It is also used as a cross country ski course here in the winter. A great multi use community spot.

Dream Field

9 x 12 Pastel

This pastel is one from my website that I thought I would show on my blog. It is a little different than my usual style, but I like pushing the color and making it work. I am planning on doing some more in this manner.

Southwest Colors

9 x 12 Pastel on Paper

Please email for info

This is a painting I did a while ago, experimenting with the different ways to hold and use the pastel. One of the inspiring things about pastel for me is the mark making and the endless possibilities of handling.

Autumn and Audubon

6 x 6 Pastel on paper

$65.00 framed, plus shipping

This is an abstract study I did a while ago. Fall is an easy time to go a little wild with color, and in the sun color can be mesmerizing at peak foliage.

Abstract Marsh

I got a little too involved with mark making with this, and when I stepped back I was surprised to see how choppy it looked. Then I thought maybe it could work as an abstract. I'm not too sure about it!

Wildflower Field

5 x 7 Pastel

Earlier this fall, the fields were abundant with wildflowers, and they are full of birds and birdsong. There are always migrating birds, so you never know what you will see, I am lucky to have these walks all around me.

Stormy Study

5 x 7 Pastel

This little study reminded me of a wind whipped New England Fall day, when you know any moment some snow could start spitting!

New Blog

I have now begun a separate oil blog, with the intention of keeping things a little more consistent. I hope you will visit my new site, and comment often. I look forward to painting and posting regularly and in the process learn to grow as an artist. Each painting is a new learning experience, and I find every step fulfilling!

Nest and Eggs

7 x 7 Pastel

Please email for info

This was something different I did for fun, but I think a whole series could be done with nests. They are little works of art within themselves

Another View

Here is another marsh view, I think I got too carried away with color. Or, maybe it is just too broken up. Always a learning process.

Changing

Early fall, the start of color. It's just about done now, but there was some great foliage.

Autumn Field

8 x 10 Pastel

Please email for info

This was a cool, windy fall day with blue sky and fluffy clouds. The colors in the sun were exaggerated. It changes rapidly here, now we are at the end of the colors with lots of browns and golds.

View from the Rocks

5 x 8 Pastel

This is a spot I have done several paintings from, one of those that has a thousand possibilities.

It is along the Kennebunkport/Cape Porpoise coast.

Garden Shed

5 x 5 Pastel

This is another quick study, I liked experimenting with background or sky color.

Table for Two

A quick warm up oil sketch. I love to paint these little studies, helps me to be loose!

Gooserocks Marsh 123

These are all little studies of the same marsh scene. It was a fun challenge making me push some color and imagination.

Another fall marsh practice piece.

The Happy Couple

6 x 9 Pastel

This was a commission, very nerve wracking considering I don't do portraits. I guess I should say I haven't done any for a real client. It was a challenge, but I would do it again.

Turbat's Creek

I've been on a little hiatus, I have been doing some artwork (and not posting). Hopefully, I will start back in a more regular schedule.

Spring Marsh 1

10 x 10 Pastel

Please email for info

More grass! This one took me a while to like, but now it is one of my favorites. Grass could be an endless subject with me, I find such interesting grasses everywhere I go now. Funny, when you become aware of something how you can start getting obsessed. I keep looking out the window as I'm driving to see the types, shapes and patterns and to watch how they move when the wind blows. Fortunately, I live where there are marshes and fields!

Crow Bar

8 x 8 Oil on board

This is the final in my series for the crow show. Thanks to Catherine Jeffrey, I took her advice and decided to have a little fun and add some humor!

Could be a Water Hazard

10 x 12 Oil on canvas

I debated posting this because the photo came out so badly. It is a second for the golf show, and it looks really good in "real life", but I don't know if I will get to photograph it over.

Evening Glow

12 x 16 Oil on canvas

This is for a show I was invited to submit, as you can tell it was for a golf course. Lots of greens, but, I did have fun.

This is #2 for the crow show.
