12 x 12 Oil on canvas
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
This is another piece from my deconstructed series. I worked on this for a long time, and I'm not sure it is done. I decided to stop and look at it for a while, I do like the colors and shapes.

First Garden Grass
6 x 6 Oil on gessobord
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
This is one of my first garden grass paintings, posted a while ago. I thought it might be a good idea repost an old painting while I am working on other pieces. Some old paintings need to go in the trash, and some others are nice to revisit!

Lupin Field
8 x 10 Oil on canvas board
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
This is a painting from an incredible field I found a couple years ago here in Maine. The lupins are prolific in late spring and early summer along the coast and highways. This field, along a country road has me coming back to it every year. Not only is it filled with colorful lupins, there is a carpet of buttercups along with it. It is stunning! I wish they lasted all summer........

This is an older grass painting that I forgot about. It is an early grass study, I think I have progressed a bit since this one.

Goldfinch 2
6 x 6 Oil on cradled board SOLD
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
A few people have been asking to see some more bird paintings, so I am starting to paint a few again.
They were popular at my holiday show, but what better time than spring when the birds are all appearing again. I love watching them at our feeders......

Buoy Study
8 x 10 oil on canvas board
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
I am a little lost with direction right now, so I am just painting some loose sketches with not a lot of fuss. I am hoping painting without expectations will get me back in the swing of things. This is another quick sketch or study.

Slices
6 x 6 Oil on gessobord
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
A quick oil sketch I did this week, to get back into the swing of things. Slow to start after vacation,
so I have been practicing some quick paintings without too much thinking. A jump start, so to speak.
I need some jump "sparks"!

Here is the finished piece. I was away for a week, and it is always slow to get back into the groove after being away. I wasn't sure about the background, but am happy with this, for now!!

This is the start of a new painting in my deconstructed/abstract series.

I will be away for a week. Stay tuned.....

Calla Lilies

I recently painted this in between my deconstructed series. I really loved the curvy shapes of flowers and couldn't resist. So, my paintings vary from realistic to abstract, or, what is inspiring me for the moment....
