This is a painting of Esty Street down near Hyannis Harbor. It is a Barnstable Land Trust property. A small preserved parcel between the Nantucket Sound and old bungalow cottages. This painting is of a small example of Cape Cod’s small wet lands that are often filled in by developers. The air is rife [...]

My students are doing very good work. I can line up 12-20 studies by them done in class, and they are all different and they all have supreme potential. Do you know when you are painting well? Do you know when you are in trouble? Do you know when it’s time to take it up [...]

I don’t have to guess if my students are in a hurry. They tell me one way or another, every week. Every week of every class I have ever taught a student at some level has expressed their urgent needs. Yes they are all in a rush, to what I wonder? To paint well? The [...]
Sold These images are of a new painting in progress, inspired from last Saturdays game. I drew it in and let it set up- to dry, for a few days before working back into it. I like to try and treat the painting loosely adding a lot of color right away to get the feel [...]
I have gotten used to looking like an idiot while taking my photos a long time ago. So when I go to Fenway and stand in the street framing my reference shots for my paintings, if I am stopping traffic, well…then I am stopping traffic. I do this alone. Whoever I go with I just [...]

It feels like Edinburgh here in Massachusetts. It’s been raining and raining. This is what people mean when they say the Cape has no spring. Because we have weather like this and then it just turns hot for three months. Yesterday my studio was warm with a fire in the wood-stove, and a new painting [...]

2009 0il 12″x 20″ Center Field Fenway Park, by Loretta Feeney On the warmest day of the year, as I write at my kitchen table, the Red Sox have won nine games in a row. My life is revolving around their schedule. I don’t have to watch them on television, but I love to listen [...]

Have you ever watched an old movie on TV, a western maybe where a dog barks in the movie? The sound of the TV dog barking wakes up your dog who starts looking around confused. And you think wow, she’s looking for this dog that’s been dead for fifty years but the voice sounds strong [...]

The Cape Cod Canal and it’s bridges are sneaking into my paintings. This is an area that I love to go and to capture with the paint. It is the gateway to Cape Cod, your introduction. This is the area that defines the region whether you are coming to the Cape or leaving it. When [...]

I talk a lot about palettes and supplies. My studio palette as noted in a previous post is a big slab of marble that I love to work on. Years ago when I was just starting to paint I bought a folding black medal palette for my watercolors. Eventually it turned into my travel palette [...]
