Goldfinch 2

6 x 6 Oil on cradled board   SOLD
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
A few people have been asking to see some more bird paintings, so I am starting to paint a few again.
They were popular at my holiday show, but what better time than spring when the birds are all appearing again. I love watching them at our feeders......

Buoy Study

8 x 10 oil on canvas board
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
I am a little lost with direction right now, so I am just painting some loose sketches with not a lot of fuss. I am hoping painting without expectations will get me back in the swing of things. This is another quick sketch or study.

Slices

6 x 6 Oil on gessobord
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
A quick oil sketch I did this week, to get back into the swing of things. Slow to start after vacation,
so I have been practicing some quick paintings without too much thinking. A jump start, so to speak.
I need some jump "sparks"!

Here is the finished piece. I was away for a week, and it is always slow to get back into the groove after being away. I wasn't sure about the background, but am happy with this, for now!!

Calla Lilies

email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
I recently painted this in between my deconstructed series. I really loved the curvy shapes of flowers and couldn't resist. So, my paintings vary from realistic to abstract, or, what is inspiring me for the moment....

Western Marsh

12 x 12 Oil on canvas board
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
A little bit of a different coastal scene for me, one from the opposite coast from where I live. This northern California marsh scene has a distinctive feel, unlike the colors of our Maine seascapes.

Baby Cow

10 x 10 Oil on canvas board
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com

This is a photo from a fall harvest fair, I have been eyeing this baby for a while, just waiting for the right time to tackle her. There were all kinds of people around learning about her and wanting to touch her. She was very patient and kind, waiting to get back in the pen with mama.
