That’s San Francisco fog creeping into the South Bay. I love the way California fog slips along the coast then spills up and over the mountains. I began Bay Fog en plein air and finished it in my California studio. This oil on canvas was later purchased by an East Coast Collector.

Sunny Sierra Stream was painted when I was traveling around the Sierra’s with my daughter and granddaughters. The original transparent watercolor was sold here in the East. Available now is this monoprint enhanced by artist with color pencils on 140 lb. acid free watercolor paper.

Once again I had to work fast en plein air – this time I had to finish Low Tide at Littlefield Farm before the incoming tide reached the spot on Mansion Beach where I had set up my easel and transparent watercolors to paint this very early Block Island farm. The original painting was a “half sheet” (15″ x 22″) but I didn’t like all that sand, so I cut the bottom off. I don’t think it needs those extra inches of sand. What do you think? Because this is one of my favorite paintings, it was years before I could put it up for sale, and then it sold immediately here in Pennsylvania.

I did three paintings of sugar maples. All three are here – keep scrolling down to see them. The first, Sugar Maple Hill, (below) is an early transparent watercolor that I painted from memory remembering my days at school in New England. It sold immediately from a Philadelphia Gallery to a Philadelphia Collector. This second Sugar Maple Hill (below) was painted and given to a friend who was always there for me – in good times and in bad – and who loved this transparent watercolor. This third painting I called simply Sugar Maples (below). It, too, I painted from memory, and it also sold the very first time it was displayed here in Pennsylvania. When I compare the three paintings, brushstrokes get looser with each new rendering. Painting Orpheus Revels sets in three days makes one deliver paint to canvas fast and I did Revels for years at about the same time I was painting the latter two Sugar Maples. Hooray for Orpheus! Hooray for loose, fun brushstrokes.

Down at Beach Haven we learned at a very young age to sail sneakboxes and race around Mordecai Island. If a Skipper or Skipperette could sail a tricky, tippy sneakbox, he or she was ready to graduate on to Comets, Lightnings, E-scows, and could definitely handle a Catboat. This transparent watercolor of Catboats Sailing was my first. I was commissioned to do two more “just like it,” but of course each was a little different – all had catboats, blue sky with white clouds and blue water with whitecaps. I wanted the viewer to feel the wind.
