My garden Iris

'Favorite Iris' - 10"x10" with floater frame.

I planted this iris in my small garden area last year. It had lots of buds on this fledging plant . . and it opened beautifully. This piece will go to the Newburyport Art Association for their 'Small Works' exhibition next week. This will be a salon-style show . . . I'm looking forward to it.

There was a great barn down over the ledge of the place we were staying. A wonderfully place where only the ocean's choppy waves could be heard.

"Ode to Lubec - Grow Wild"

"30x24", 1 3/8" gallery wrap, no need to frame. $785.-

I painted this all week. As it took shape, I realized I could enter this into the Newburyport Art Association member juried show. I intend to do just that! On our first day in Lubec we travelled around getting to know the area. This was along the road to the state park.

'Ode to Lubec-Poppy Delight'; 24"x48" - 1 1/2" gallery wrap, completed sides, no need to frame. $995.-
In late spring of 2008, it was a grand treat to attend a week-long painting workshop in Lubec, Maine. The wild flowers were in bloom . . . lupine, daisies, phlox . . . such a feast for the eyes. The fog continually rolled in and out all week. I remain inspired by my venture to down east Maine and will post more on my 'Ode to Lubec' series. This happens to be the largest oil I've painted! What fun . . .
