I thought I better post something so I can prove I am alive. I have finished a couple oils, I just have not had time to photograph them. So, I am forced to post another pastel of rocks. Oils coming soon!

Marsh Edge

8 x 10 Pastel on paper
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com

Another in my latest pastel series. I am giving sizes of artwork, but all pastels are eventually framed when someone has an interest. I am playing around with dry mounting the art and framing with spacers. After doing oils, I am losing interest in mats, even tho pastels do look great with mats.

Maine Landscape 15

6 x 8 Oil on canvas panel
Pallet knife version of a small landscape. I like using the knife, it gives me a little more freedom and inspires me to be looser. I should do more in this fashion, I like the results.

Turbat's Creek and Marsh

11 x 14 Pastel on Paper
OMG! A painting! I actually did a painting! I just finished this for a wet paint auction, nerve wracking, but it forces one to get out and get to it. You have no choice if you register for theses events. So, I fit it in and am happy it worked out!

Iris Garden

7 x 7 pastel on paper, matted and framed 12 x 12
I long for free time to paint, I seem to be so busy, and don't see it letting up. That is good in some ways, but I have to neglect a lot of things I would like to be doing. I will be happy and not complain, it is summer and finally warm here in Maine and very beautiful!

Southwest Harbor 3

10 x 10 Oil on canvas board   SOLD
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!

Or ponds are filled with these plants this time of year. The flowers are so beautiful and delicate floating on the surface. They remind me of story book plants.
