And One More

8x8 Oil on Cradled Panel

As part of the 30 day challenge I am attempting, I decided last week to stick with what was fun for me right now. I am enjoying looking at and working on these little landscapes from photos I took last fall near Concord, MA.  I think the reds in the foliage caught my eye initially, and I still like capturing the interplay of the contrasts.  

Cool Days

The temperatures in New England have dropped 25 degrees in the past week and it feels like fall. Cool, breezy, sunny days remind me of trips with the kids to pick apples and pumpkins.  

Back on track

missed a day of the 30 day challenge yesterday- but back on track today.  I moved my studio this morning - quite the task but I'll have a bit more room to play moving forward.  We had some lemons and limes on the counter last night.  The limes were sacrificed to a good cause... But not before a photo!

Determination

This one is just pure grit and determination.  Late and tired.  Not great- just paint and persistence.

Back to the Beach. - Day 10

6x6 Oil on Panel.         Day 10

Even though the temperature has dropped significantly this week in Boston, it is still easy to remember that just a couple of weeks ago we were still sitting in a beach chair reading in New England.  Just some fun with paint tonite. 

Cloudy Morning on Ft. Lauderdale Beach

Sometimes if you get to the beach early on a cloudy morning you have the place to yourself.  A few walkers near the water and a nice breeze and you.  Perfect!

Under the Wire

Painting every day is difficult. I had a full day of stressful activity at work today, left late, home for dinner with my girls.  No energy.  I didn't see how I could go upstairs and paint.  But I did.  late tonight I just had to paint.  Here is another little bit of autumn- coming very soon here.
