Plein Air - May 19, 2009

My first adventure of the 2009 season. Perhaps this was a magnolia tree. I admit to not being savvy about ornamental trees . . . but I liked the creaminess of the blossoms of this tree at Maudsley Park in Newburyport. 8X10 panel

Thank you for visiting . . . something/one drew you here . . . how about becoming a follower? A few weeks ago my studio mates/I organized a very well received open house at Artists' Muse. So many people signed our guest book(s) . . . telling us how interested people are with our studios, and particularly the artists within. This is a way to find out what's going on!

Ode to Lubec-Intimate Poppies

While many of my paintings painted last fall have not been added to this blog, I need to add this one. Completed November '08, this painting shows the intimate setting of the Lubec garden poppies. This garden was laden with mostly salmon colored poppies, with a few red, as well as white poppies. 6"x12" canvas, silver 3" frame; $250.-

Song Garden-Lenten Rose

This lenten rose has been such a joy to watch outside my window. It flourishes and blooms even in the worst of spring conditions . . . guess that's why they call it the lenten rose. This was in an earlier stage . . . sort-of pink/salmon and creamy white. The blooms, three weeks later, are a greenish white, growing strong. This is an evergreen plant, color in the garden all year long.

30"x15"; 2.5" deep gallery wrap canvas (painting wrapped around the sides). $625.-
