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 thrilled to see my granddaughter's imaginatively colorful cows appear. 


Finally, I was pleased that an oil painting I completed in 2023 -- "Sturbridge Farm" -- was  displayed in the "Twelfth Annual One" show at ArtsWorcester, 44 Portland St., Worcester MA.


FYI: All of my paintings are now available in my "Daily Paintworks" online gallery. You can access that gallery HERE.
