I haven’t posted for a while. I was away most of June in Italy, and then spent July either catching up with everything I didn’t do in June, at the beach, or trying to stay cool in the summer heat WITH NO AIR CONDITIONING IN MY HOUSE! Not an easy feat, believe me.
I have been taking a once-weekly plein air painting class with David Dunlop this summer, and we paint on location in all different places around CT. I decided to do the class all in oils (vs pastels, which I’ve done a lot of plein air painting in) in order to improve my speed and also to figure out a good oil outdoor setup for myself.
I also was lucky enough to get an invitation up to Gloucester, MA to stay at a friend’s house on the water with a few other plein air artists and paint for a few days. And of course I’ve been doing paintings of Fire Island. So, here’s an update on what I’ve been putting together, oil painting-wise (and more to come, once I get them photographed!):
- “To Bayberry Dunes” 9 x 12 (SOLD)

“Umbrian Grapevines” 11 x 14

If this is what happens when you are sweating your butt off and you don’t have enough time to post – then I am very impressed!
I can’t pick which I like more – each of your paintings are WONDERFUL! You are one TALENTED WOMAN!
Wonderful composition and variations. If I could paint with a brush, this is what I would want it to look like.
