Spring Poppies
6 x 6 Oil on canvas board SOLD
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
This is going to be a busy summer. All kinds of events along with my son's wedding in September. Why does everything seem condensed, I think we need longer summers to fit so many special things in. Especially here in the northeast, where we try to fit too much in, in a short season. I can sense that painting is going to take a hit! I will have to record inspirations and hope to get to the easel!

Key West Rooster 2
6 x 8 Oil on canvas boardemail: mcary1@maine.rr.com
I love these guys struttin their stuff and squawking at everyone that gets in their way. They make me smile when I see them in Key West. Noisy, but very entertaining. If you hurt one of these fellas, you get a fine!! So, beware if you visit, and make sure you go to the wildlife refuge, they have tons of birds and baby chicks, they give them to farms away from the town. A great volunteer service to support!

Breakfast Table
6 x 6 Oil on gessoed masoniteemail: mcary1@maine.rr.com
I have been really busy, and feel guilty about neglecting my painting. Does thinking about it count? Maybe a little, eventually I am just going to set myself back. Sometimes I feel defeated to keep up with my daily responsibilities, and try to paint. I think part of it is organization. I am definitely in need of organizing and prioritizing. All big words. I better get to work and find a solution, after I go to bed and sleep on it.

Table Setting
8 x 10 Oil on gessoed masoniteemail: mcary1@maine.rr.com
It is rainy, cold and dreary in New England. I feel we are losing out on the spring here. We are supposed to be out enjoying this time of year, gardening, walking and enjoying the new flowers. Instead, we are holed up, and I am getting impatient! My son is leaving to go sailing off the coast of Mexico into the warm and sunny South Pacific. My imagination is with him in the bright sunshine and surrounded by aqua waters with warm tropical breezes......

A study of more of these coneflowers. I am enjoying trying some different angles with these. I would like to try more making them more abstract.

Around Sunset
8 x 8 Oil on canvas board, framedemail: mcary1@maine.rr.com
I always think that skies look like they should be easy to paint, but it takes me so long to mix the right colors and have it look believable. I love the outcome when they work!

A lovely hawk, watching for his next meal up in a bare tree with a wintery sky behind.
What a beauty he was, so regal in his perch!

Marsh Color
11 x 14 Oil on boardemail: mcary1@maine.rr.com
This is painted from photograph of a fall marsh scene that started out more realistic, but ended up bright and a little abstract. Those are supposed to be trees in the background, but they look like hills. I just kept adding color, it really looks like southwestern colors. An experiment gone a little wild!

Skiff Row
11 x 14 Oil on gessoed masonite SOLD
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
I actually got to paint and finish a piece over the last couple days. A feat, since I feel so scattered lately. I enjoyed using this monochromatic color scheme, painted from a black and white photo. I decided to keep it to these blue hues, although for my darks I use a mixture of pthalo green and alizarin crimson. (I was away in sun and flowers, New England is dark, damp and dismal!!) Ready to leave again! Hope some of you are enjoying spring!

Just a quick oil sketch I did recently, thought I better post something since I have been away and not too prolific. Boy, painting and photographing paintings takes a lot of time!
