Another winter scene from New England before I switch back to painting spring and warmer weather subjects. The tail end of winter always seems to last forever and I can't wait for the first colorful signs and inspiration of the new season.

The days are getting longer but winter is still here in New England. Scenes like this one are an inspiration this time of year. I did this scene in a painting and blogging class taught by Bobbi Heath at River Arts , the Art Center in Damariscotta, Maine. The focus was on creating a quick, effective composition for daily paintings.
Look for future offerings of Bobbi's class, which was excellent.

I am fortunate to call the coast of Maine my second home and one of my favorite places to live. In the summer, you can enjoy fiery and glorious sunsets like this one at Potts Point Harbor in South Harpswell.

"After a Good Day's Work"


"After a Good Day's Work"
8 x 10 Pastel
Sold

When you live in New England, you get your garden “ready for the winter”. You dig up dahlias to store in the basement, you move and re-arrange plants in anticipation of spring and cover what you can in the hope that the deer won’t feast on your favorite bushes during the colder months.

After a good day’s work in the garden, I hosed down the dirt from my rubber boots and shovel and let them dry against the garage wall. I felt a sense of accomplishment and liked the scene.

This 8 x 10 painting is done on Sennelier sanded pastel paper.

Currently on exhibit, Copley Square, Boston Mass.
