Happy Valentines Day. Print, cut and deliver!

The snow has calmed, the day has warmed (a little) and there was just a tiny touch of sun. I know this is only a short reprieve here in New Hampshire, but it makes sending Valentine wishes so much better! I hope this little collection of color brightens your day.... feel free to print, cut and deliver :-). Enjoy.

On the easel. Sunflowers in the breeze.

Yesterday I added blue sky... today I added a few highlights and strokes of paint for atmosphere. See the video of the end of the process. Stay warm and safe everyone!

Adding blue sky....

I love the process of filling in backgrounds... especially on a bold under-painting. To see some of the progress, click here. Enjoy.

Art on Jewelry for Mothers Day

I know there is still a foot of snow on the ground... and I know the birds are not singing spring songs ... but the sunshine today prompts serious planning for my upcoming art shows and festivals. I have just started playing around with some new ideas.... what do you think? Art in miniature intrigues me. :-)

The view from String Bridge, Exeter, NH

One of my favorite places .... standing on String Bridge looking to the falls near the library. It is just "so Exeter". This painting, just off the easel, is on an 11x14 deep profile canvas and has been coated with a UV resistant varnish. The image is from a photo I took on a much warmer day.... now it is just pure winter outside - burr. I hope you enjoy this small bit of visual warmth :-). Happy Holidays.
