flips - daily painting

6x6" oil on panel traded in the clogs for cooler footwear :)

*** saturday I'll be at the Broke Arts sale in Peterborough NH part of their weekend long
"Thing In the Spring"
with a originals, some prints and a few sale items - should be a fun day/weekend.


*** also in NH this month Ive got 6 paintings at the Congress St Gallery in Portsmouth NH as part of a small group show! I love Portsmouth and cant wait to go check them out and spend some time in this great New England town.

Today

6x6" oil on gessoboard NFS


This photo doesnt do this little painting justice at all. It is so yummy in person with rich color that I just cant seem to capture with my camera/computer today. A sweet mom from NC sent me this photo of her favorite guys and I just had to paint it. Love the "Pete and Re-Pete", father/son following in his footsteps,pure joy image - especially this time of year.


Also today I framed 6 paintings. This is my favorite way to frame them so I thought I'ld share...plus they looked sooooo good sitting on my mantle and again the picture doesnt do them justice...its so pretty in person - all the blues and greens, my favorite little Foo Dogs and vase too. If you are interested in any of these paintings and are looking for a nice outing head down to Tiverton 4Corners in RI and check them out at the Donovan Gallery - you can get a delicious icecream at Gray's ice cream across the street and there are lots of other great shops and galleries in the area - not to mention gorgeous scenery too!
Enjoy your weekend everyone!!

A Beach Day

This painting will be nicely framed and available at The Donovan Gallery next week along with a few other little paintings. You can contact me or them if youre interested in purchasing this one. Also, theres just a few more days to vote on my painting "Fledgling" that is in the SmallWorks NA show at The Greenich Workshop Gallery. ***this is a big show, I am so proud to be a part of it ***
Have a good weekend all. I'll be preparing more boards to paint and making cranberry sauce.
