Little Coastal Sketch

5 x 7 Oil on clayboard
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
I tried oil on some clayboard samples I had. It is similar to gessobord, anybody know if there is a reason they don't list oils as a medium for these boards? It seemed to work ok for me.

Schoodic Revisited

10 x 12 Oil on canvas board
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
Here is another one of those scenes I keep going back to to repaint. Schoodic Point, one of the most beautiful spots in Acadia, Maine. This painting is a little bright, I have a problem with the colors looking too intense when I post paintings. Not quite as orange in real life.

A Little Color with your Poppies

8 x 8 oil on gessobord
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
I think this is a little on the brighter side of the real look of this painting, it might require a reshoot to be a little more accurate!

Reconstructed Flowers

16 x 16 Oil on cradled board
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
This is another painting in my series of taking an older painting and reconstructing it. This has been an interesting challenge, but fun and a great learning experience for my abstract ideas.

Reflections


18 x 24 Oil on cradled gessobord
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
This is a larger painting I have been working on. Reflections of water, abstracted. I hope to continue with this series, I have a number of images ready if I can make my days and weeks longer! The colors are close, but photographing this was a little difficult in the lighting I had available.

email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
This is a revisited scene, a lot of my coastal Maine scenes beg to be painted more than once. Hopefully I learn something new each time!

Even though I am not always posting and painting because of life getting in the way, I am thinking painting and always planning. Does that count? I hope so….

I am expanding on my birds, painting a larger multi bird piece was fun. I have not been successful with painting butterflies for some reason, I think this one worked out ok!
