Painting in Maine

After a glorious week of painting in Phippsburg, Maine there is alot of new work at Gallery 51 in Meredith, New Hampshire.  Lots of work done en plein air in pastel.

Turtle Rock - Lake Winona

My friends have a camp on a beautiful, small lake in Center Harbor.  Getting ready for a sunset cocktail cruise!

Hold On...This Is Going To Hurt Like Hell

I am keeping a journal of sorts. Artwork rather than a written journal. A way of dealing with the grief. Eventually I hope to publish a book called "In My Shoes" A solo journey through grief. Notice......"through" grief. Hoping to emerge on the other side.

Hold On..........Hold On this is going to hurt like hell!

Working Class America..The Layer Beneath "Bob"

I live in a lakefront resort community, surrounded by wealth both old and new. This painting is the first in a series about the hard workers that support the wants and needs of the wealthy in our community and beyond. The layer beneath. This is Bob, a hard working carpenter by trade. Rugged, gentle.

Its Valentines Day. 2/14/2012. Hard day for me.

This is a quick study that reflects my mood some days since Kevin has passed. Can't speak, can't breathe, can't move.

Paralized.

Waiting for a Cookie!

This is Bella. I know two Bellas, both chocolate labs. Very hard to paint..........all that brown!

Family Portrait - Henry, Albert, Brutus

I painted this family portrait for my friend Douglas. I know these dogs so it was a bit easier to paint than some. Look like angels don't they?

Imps actually.
