They were my inspiration for this brightly colored painting completed with a limited palette of greens and yellows.

News from my studio

Vacation travels and other commitments have left me less time to spend in my studio. Fortunately, my schedule has opened up and I'm starting several new pieces.  My watercolor painting, "Bright Morning Mist," was one of twelve winners in the Rhode Island Watercolor Society's annual calendar contest. I am grateful to the many followers on Facebook who voted for me. Thanks very much! A newer painting, "The Skipper" has been on exhibit in "Primary Colors," an Open Juried Show at the Rhode Island Watercolor Society, throughout August. It shows my son on his sailboat on a long-ago afternoon on the water off Cataumet, on Cape Cod.  A few weeks ago I spent an enjoyable afternoon with one of my granddaughters, setting ourselves up in my studio with the goal of completing a watercolor sketch in just fifteen minutes.  We used a photo of some cows that I had taken several years ago as our reference.  It was fun sharing creative space together, and I was thril...

I've had two paintings accepted by the jurors for this year's Small Stones Festival of the Arts, in Grafton, Massachusetts. " Freeman Farm in the Afternoon" and "Daffodil Waltz" were selected to be shown in the exhibition, and also will be included in the  hardcover exhibition  catalog.  Jurors of selection and awards for the 2022 festival's fine art painting category are JoEllen Reinhardt, Susan Termyn, and William Pope.  Both paintings will be on exhibit in the Great Hall at One Grafton Common, beginning with the Opening ceremony on October 14, and continuing through October 23, 2022.  Daffodil Waltz transparent watercolor    17.25" x 17.5" SOLD This stylized watercolor rendering of springtime daffodils was informed by my appreciation of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Modernist motifs influenced by Japanese art in a style that became popular during the early twentieth century.

Some changes...

I've moved my art gallery to a new website hosted   HERE . This new site, hosted by at Fine Art Studios Online, shows my largest works, many of them framed and ready to hang. Eventually, I will add a section showing smaller, unframed paintings and sketches. Everything at the new online gallery is set up for easy purchases via PayPal (you don't need a PayPal account to buy a painting -- just a credit or debit card). I'm closing out my Daily Paintworks site, and am very grateful to David Marine and his staff for the opportunities provided to me for the past ten years. If you have any questions, please message me either in the comment section of this post (below) or by contacting me via my Facebook page  HERE .   The address of the new site is judithfreemanclark.com
