THE JAMES

We are fortunate to have The James Library and Center for the Arts in our neck of the woods. This is a corner of the Gallery in which the GJWP will be having an exhibit in December...because girls just wanna have fun.

Robin Keller

As I hang my work for Sunday...I can't help but to re paint and spiff up old paintings. This red barn being one. My sister ROBIN KELLER www.robinkeller.com will be exhibiting her work on Sunday at North Street Studio along with 8 other artists. I display Robin's version of the same red barn and her "Lavendar Field". It is such fun to be able to share the love of painting with your sisters...yes..more on more artistic sisters another day.

TUESDAYS

MARY'S BOAT 12x12

We do have a good time painting on Tuesdays. Last Tuesday during the critique I dropped one of the artist's paintings in between the dock slits!!! It was a full moon high tide and we looked in the water but had no luck finding it. I felt horrible  and at the same time it was so unusual that we all tried not to laugh or be upset. 20 minutes into the critique, the tide turned and we looked once again...lo and behold we found it hung up on some seaweed, ready to make it's big break out to sea. Ah, the beauty of acrylic..after 2 days of drying out it is now framed.

YELLOW CAN

This painting is a commission for my very dear friends from VT. We love the farm stand on Martha's Vineyard that sells pizza sauce cans filled with healthy, gorgeous zinnias.
I hope they like it. I do. It makes me feel happy remembering hot summer days and fun times spent with them.

BEGINNING

Is it a bird or a plane? No it is the beginning of a large painting..a boat. The raw canvas was gessoed and sanded and the first layers of paint put down very roughly. Now..to move forward and keep the work vibrant.......

Join us at Kennedy's Country Gardens in Marshfield MA tomorrow, Saturday Oct 8. The GIRLS JUST WANNA PAINT are having a booth at an artful event. We will be painting and displaying our work. Art and flowers, plants and crafts...a gorgeous weather day predicted

LIMITED STROKES

It felt like slipping and sliding on ice skates counting the number of strokes used for these paintings.

EXECUTIVE SEARCH

I painted this from some photographs. I am not sure if it is quite finished. I wanted the painting to capture the feel of the wind and the sea. Figures are challenging for me but I am pleased with the impressionistic quality of this figure.
I shot these photos from my Iphone on the Martha's Vineyard ferry. Perhaps more paintings of figures to come
