CLOUDY BUT COOL

The Farm House

The Fall Garden

The Tuesday class enjoyed painting in a wonderful garden in Hingham. It was a cloudy day which can be challenging to begin identifying values. During the critique, we all agreed every kind of weather is great to paint in.

THE BIG APPLE

No ... This isn't my work! I went to NYC over the week-end and feasted my eyes on a lot of great art. I saw the De Kooning exhibit at MOMA. I am drawn to Abstract Expression. These 2 artists: John Little and Batty Parsons were at the Spanierman Gallery. 

In other news- Kelley MacDonald, painter and blogger extrordianire- is presenting a talk about daily painting and the blogging process, this Thursday at the North River Arts Society. Its a deal at $35 and will be very helpful to those who might want to blog or even those who just want to have a fun evening.

PASSING BY

Every once in a while, I slip off to the beach by myself with a good juicy book. I pass this house on my way to and fro. It always makes me feel good

I met another blogger at the Demo and her work is beautiful. Kathleen Weber http://weberstudio.blogspot.com

I also had the privilege of meeting Carol Marine last week who told me exactly how to photograph one's paintings...in the shadow of a building, upright, no reflection of any kind including the sky. It works!

Group Paint

It was great to paint with the Tuesday Gang. We had glorious weather up on Turkey Hill Farm

CHUMMY LITTLE GUYS

Will the REAL "Chummy Little Guys" please stand up?
You have to be a certain age to remember that line.

This is a question to you fellow painters.....I took one of these pictures in the sun, the other in the shade.....What is the best advice on that?
