Plein Air in Barnstable Harbor

8x8 Oil on Stretched Canvas. SOLD

I managed to get out and paint on Sunday in a favorite harbor.  Shortly after I started, the farthest boat moved out!  Always good to map in shapes and darks quickly....

P-Town Library

8x8 Oil on Stretched Canvas.  SOLD

Another piece from a visit this month to Provincetown on a very hot and sunny afternoon.  The library has a full sized schooner inside- really interesting.

Provincetown Wanderings

8x8 Oil on Stretched Canvas.  SOLD

We travelle d to P-town for a date this weekend- great street scenes- wonderful people watching- loads of wonderful galleries.  I had a chance to visit the Anne Packard gallery- one of my all time favorite Cape artists.  Her work is amazing, evoking all that is wonderful about Cape Cod and Provincetown in particular.  I found myself feeling honored to be a painter- to share in some minuscule and remote way this craft with someone who is so talented in ways I can never hope to approach.  Still, we paint.  All of us who do can share in the joy of color and challenge and light and shadow.  We can see the world in different perspectives and notice details in the life around us.   Grateful on this Sunday morning.

More summer fun

8x8 Oil on Stretched Canvas. SOLD

So enjoying this summer!  I really like the blues in this one.  Lots of loose paint.

Saturday at the Beach

9x12 Oil on Linen Panel

I had some fun outside yesterday.  This is a special little place for lake friends and I wanted to capture a perfect summer morning.

Block in for new piece

I'm working on a 24 x 24 painting this weekend and also hoping to get out later today for some plein air fun.  You can follow the progress on my Facebook page - Debra Kennedy Artist-@debrakennedyartist.   All 'Likes' greatly appreciated😎.

 

Joy in July

8x10 Oil on Panel

I am really pleased with this one.  After a couple of weeks of painting frustration, I relaxed and focused on this great scene near Harpswell, ME.  A quilt artist had proudly displayed her work for sale- beautiful  works and a wonderfully sunny scene.  Joy in July is my theme for all things this month, and this really made me happy.
