What Makes Me Paint Today

I find that observing rather than recording what I see works much better for me when I paint. What's on my daily observation list today? I get lost in the water in the shower, rain coming off the roof, puddling in the driveway, little gems on the spider web and the river a walk away, as it goes back and forth to the ocean. Here's some work that's come out of past observations. Some of this will be available as prints at my sale on July 20-21.

My Little Barn Show is Coming Along

Big Show in the Little Barn July 20+21
579 Old County Rd, Westport MA
I'm part of the South Coast Artists Open Studio Tour this year, the weekend of July 20+21. The 10th year it's been around, there are over 50 artists from Dartmouth, Little Compton, Tiverton and Westport participating. Many of the artists have works in progress to see or demos to participate in. You can download a brochure, complete with map, here. I'm converting our little barn into a gallery and will have work ranging from $30 to $1,200 in all the mediums I work in. Watercolor, oils and digital prints will be available to take a look at and purchase. I've got a lot to do in the next week and a half and will feed you bits of progress as it comes together. This will be a kid friendly event so bring the whole family.
