I've been painting this image larger - 16x16 and have been playing around with the composition. this is one of those studies.

And over at Daily Painters.com we have all worked hard at pulling this new book together. Each of us has a page with 4 or 5 images and a statement. Ive seen the whole book and it really is amazing. If you are a fan of DP's this book is for you! you can find out more here:

My first encaustic! - encaustic is painting with hot wax. - and man, is it different than what I normally do - totally out of my comfort zone! But completely fun and addicting. ---ooh the layers and depth! its completely freeing. Ive been waiting to use this stack of old childrens book pages too.

Hinterland -daily painting and Warren Walkabout

8x8" oil on hardboard panel $140

A very personal painting on many levels - Completely inspired by my brother and his Hinterland Series, its of the beach were we spent many many childhood days and drawn from a photo of his daughter running there. meant to be a loose and dreamy interpretation of a favorite place

***FYI*** this sunday 12-5pm is the Warren RI Walkabout (open studios,restaurant tastings etc) -

I will have some of my paintings, (maybe some prints too) on display along with David's work in their old studio space that we are in the process of turning into a gallery space for our work and my sister - in -laws work too. The space is a work in progress but its starting to take shape and we'ld love for you to stop by and say hi - its #205 in the Cutler Building 30 Cutler St Warren

Sweet Little Gift

6x6" oil on hardboard panel
A sweet little gift - painting presents is a challenge, but as it turns out, a great way to warm up. So I may have more of these from time to time. Perfect for the upcoming gift giving season :)
yesterday I said I was inspired by the paintings of Kimberley Applegate - and I am - but she paints chairs - not presents!!! Karen Appleton is the uber talented lady who paints the presents!!! Check out her website -she's got a great self portrait on there plus loads of packages

Beachbreak

8"x8" oil on wood panel
more experimenting here.
this is on a 1/4 inch board with black edges and a cutout in the back for easy hanging.

A beach break is a surfing term for when a wave breaks over the sandy bottom rolling into the beach, but I also like the idea of a 'beach break' - taking time out of our regular lives to go to the beach-

-speaking of regular lives: posting early today because I teach kindergarten art on tuesdays.

- I'm thinking about teaching some kind of workshop for adults in 2009 too - any thoughts on that?

-also, I totally appreciate EVERY comment and email I get - lately Ive been slow to respond - due to my busy fall schedule and sharing my computer with a teenager and a couple of pre-teens! - keep the comments coming though! I really do read them and enjoy them.

kelley - no special days in Oct. - just my favorite month here in NE.

Anne M - I sent you an email. did you get it? send me an email, I'ld be glad to help you out.
