Wishing a Happy and Creative 2015 to all who are reading this!
Winter is the time for me to paint most intensively. It's taken me a while to get started this year, but I have finally gotten what I hope will be a daily practice.
Meanwhile I'm getting ready for what is turning out to be my biggest solo show ever!
I was invited to hang my paintings for the months of February and March at the offices of Southeby's International oldCape Realty, 6 Route 6A, Orleans as part of their ongoing focus on local art makers.
Please come to an Opening Reception on Friday, February 6, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm., with food and drink representative of Cape Cod, Grenada and Ireland.
There's LOTS of nice public space, and great lighting, as well as several distinct areas in which to show. To do the space justice, I will be showing a lot of work, both past and present, in pastel, oil and watercolor.
Hope you can join us!

Updating...
Hello to all. It's been a busy summer, and I've not updated my "blog" in a while so here goes...
I've been spending the Spring-Summer-Fall season working at Truro Vineyards of Cape Cod. It's been such a pleasure to watch the grapes grow and ripen around me! I know these images of adundance will work their way into paintings, hopefully this winter.
Painting time has been hard to come by, but things are easing up and I've been working on a few pieces. I participated in two shows this summer, one with the Visual Artists Cooperative, a showing of "New Works" that hung at the Orleans (Ma.) library for the month of August; and in September I was part of a group of plein air artists that hung a show entitled "Rose Farm" at the Truro COA. Two more show with the VAC are coming up in November.
Cape Cod is in it's most beautiful season right now, and there is inspiration everywhere I look!
I'm hoping to get out and work en plein air a few more times before it gets too cold and blustery.
Thinking, as always, about Grenada and hoping to sell some Grenada paintings to help finance a trip there. I look daily at the webcams on the Grenada Explorer website www.grenadaexplorer.com
and am very inspired by them, but I long for the day when I will walk the beach at La Sagesse again!
Abundance, and best wishes to all...

New Paintings! Website Changes, and More...
With the assistance of web-designer Monja Winsborrow at Spicy Design, I've added 20 new paintings to my website.
These paintings depict quite a variety of subject matter and media. In addition to a fairly steady flow of pastel paintings, I had time this winter to do alot more oil painting, and have had fun this spring with watercolors!
We separated all of the website paintings into "galleries", based on geographic location of the land & seascapes. There is also an "Eclectic" gallery for other subjects.
And we added a "Links" button to connect you with some favorite websites...let me know if you'd like to "exchange links".
I've had the opportunity to get outside to paint several times in the past couple of weeks. Several of us are gathering at Rose Farm in Wellfleet on Friday mornings, to paint at this lovely old Cape Cod farmstead. In addition to the farm buildings and Cape house, the property has beautiful plantings and gardens, which have been lovingly tended by artist-in-residence Katy and the late David Rose.
David, who passed away this past October, was a gifted wood-worker and all-around creative guy, whose unique touches are everywhere at the farm.
We are amassing a nice body of work, and intend to have a "Rose Farm" show, possibly this Fall.
I am once again showing other new work in oil and pastel at Sandpiper Gallery, Wellfleet this season; and also showing pastels at Van Rensellaer's Restaurant in South Wellfleet.
Best wishes to you for a wonderful summer!

"Yellow" Show at PAAM
Today was the painting drop-off day for the first Members Open Exhibit at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, in Provincetown, Massachusetts. It's been a dark showery day, but walking into the light-filled room, which was filled with a brilliant array of artwork in all hues of yellow,made the day seem filled with sunshine! I' m entering a painting called "Late Sunday, La Sagesse", which can be seen on the website. It's a rather mysterious painting that shows the golden light of late afternoon at La Sagesse Bay, Grenada, as well as figures on the beach.
There will be a reception for the "Yellow" Show this Friday at Provincetown Art Association and Museum, from 6-8 pm. The paintings will hang through late May.
Check their excellent website www.paam.org for more information, as well as the summer class schedule. If you've got time and an interest in historic art of Provincetown and the Outer Cape, take a look at PAAM's past auctions. You can click on to paintings listed by artist's name and title. It also shows the winning bid. I feel that I've learned alot about 20th century artists who's names I've known, but was unfamiliar with their work. It's also an interesting chronicle of "old" Cape Cod.
