September, Working Outside
Published by September 16th, 2011 in Blog and painting on location. 0 CommentsPainting on location keeps me fresh. It makes the studio work stronger and it’s fun. This is a study of Wychmere Harbor.

Flying Air Lingus back from Ireland, as I have done many times. I felt fairly relaxed and familiar using this airline. No one likes to fly.

Gort A’ Choirce is a beautiful region of steep farming hills near the sea. There is so much beauty to paint. The new lambs are everywhere and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

I was lucky to begin painting when I was very young. There were art supplies available in my home growing up. Most artists are not so lucky. Many of my students have been meaning to take a painting class forever. You are never too young to begin creating art. And you are never too old [...]
Here was an ideal day for painting on location, under this umbrella, safe from the sun and heat. The roses in full bloom, and island ferry boats going in and out of the harbor every few minutes for Nantucket. I painted this Hyannisport view quickly, listening to the sounds of the harbor, mixing for the [...]

The reception is open to the public, this Saturday night 5-7 p.m…. Hurricane Earl permitting.
