Southwest Harbor 3
10 x 10 Oil on canvas board SOLD
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
This is a painting I did back in August, 2010 and painted over and retouched. I never really liked it, but I have to have a couple 10 x 10s for a show. I don't have a lot of paintings that size, so, I decided to rework this. I like it much better now. Take a look and compare if you have the time, and give me your critique!

I have been in a pastel mood, a little easier to set up than oils during busy times. Perfect for all the flowers in bloom now!

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......
