This is an older painting, I am slow on finishing any current work. I leave for vacation, so posting will be a little slim. Hopefully I will be gathering a lot of new information for future paintings!!

This is a variation on the same scene of another painting, pretty close to the other one but wanted to try a bigger size this time.

Still Life with Stripes


11 x 14 Oil on cradled canvas
I have been feeling confined and needed to paint larger. I think even larger is in the near future. I needto break out!! This is an okay photo, but I have to say the shadows in "real life" are more purple!!
New photo added, I think this is a closer match to the real art....

Magnolia Sky 3

11 x 14 Oil on gessoed board
email:  mcary1@maine.rr.com
This is a take on a pastel I did of the same scene. I was at a loss, forgot how to paint, so I  had to
copy a successful previous painting to prove I really could paint. It is a moderate success, re-establishing that I do have some ability. I am at a wishy washy place, needing some direction. I always say to others at this point, don't think, just paint. So, that is what I am trying!!

I feel like I paint many of my bright colorful flower paintings in the middle of the cold and snowy winter. My idea of vitamin D, I guess.

This makes me long for warm and sunny summer days. They seem so far off, so I have to lose myself in
these scenes by painting them!

After The Rain

10 x 10 Oil on cradled board    SOLD
email:  mcary1@maine.rr.com
This is the way these poppies in my garden looked after a rain storm. They are one of my favorite garden flowers, but don't seem to last long before they start to droop, especially if we have some rain or wind. They are so artistic and almost whimsical, I am also intrigued with the seed pods once the flowers are gone. I know they would make a great painting, too.
