Pink Hydrangeas, redux
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
This is a redo of the June 14 post, I just was not pleased with it, so I attempted to fix it more to my liking. I think I am happier with it. I guess it is good when you look at your paintings and want to do them over, or at least improve them and know why you want to improve them! Oy, I think painting is frustrating and wonder about it sometimes. I should be in the garden smelling flowers and not painting them!! That is my mood of late, but all is good, I am going on vacation and hope to come back with a new sense of "wonder"!

Around Sunset
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
This is a larger than usual painting for me. I am at a point where I want to start larger paintings, it's a
new challenge and requires more patience. I am a fast painter and this will force me to plan more and slow down.

These rosehips are a common plant along the coast of Maine, they bloom most of the summer and are colorful and really fragrant.

Pink Hydrangeas
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
These flowers are painted from a photo of the prolific hydrangeas that grow in Nantucket. Cape Cod and the islands are the right mix of climate and salt air that allows these beauties to thrive. The color range is amazing, too!

This is from a photo that I took on a recent trip to California, one of the reasons there has not been lots of posts recently!! Thank goodness for my camera.

Summer Field
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
This is an old painting I just pulled out and hung in my studio. I decided I liked it and will keep it around for a while. It is one of those old paintings I didn't love, so it was tossed aside. Now, about 2 years later, I am thinking it didn't deserve a spot collecting dust. I honestly had to look up an old post, because I wasn't sure if it was oil or acrylic!!

Water - Fragments
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
This is a first in a series of abstracts I am attempting to do. I wasn't sure how this would work out, but I have to say I am pleased with the result. This is a water reflection, embellished a little, but pretty accurate. I am intrigued with water patterns and color reflection. This is painted on gessobord, leaving a border of the original surface untouched. I have more planned and look forward to experimenting on a variety of fragmented abstracts.

Path to Ferry Beach
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
A Maine beach not far from where I live, a popular place to walk. I took a little extra license in adding some color to the sky, brings a bit of tropical flair to a northern beach.
