Poppies are my favorite flowers. I can’t stop painting them. I paint them as thank you notes, I paint them as hostess gifts, I paint them in landscapes and paint them into coastal gardens. All my poppies so far have been transparent watercolors which are perfect for capturing the thin luminous petals of the poppies.

Fast brush strokes using Kolinsky watercolor bushes and real oil paints placed quickly on a tiny 5″ x 7″ Belgian linen board resulted in this plein air painting “Beach Day” which is one of my favorites and still in the Collection of the Artist. There may have been one or two sailboats out in the ocean that day, but I threw more in just for fun. I love painting children. They rarely sit still.

Howard’s Beach in Cape May was a lovely place to go in September. The ocean had warmed up, the sand had cooled down, and the far less crowded beach still had enough activity going on for artists to paint. Eight of us rented a cottage and swam at this beach almost every day after painting. The rocks are the jetty just below Howard’s Beach – I thought it was fun to call this Howard’s Beach oil painting – Raggedy Ann on the Rocks.

Three of us from the French Creek Art Colony went up to paint in Maine, and this is my rendition of the lighthouse on Pemaquid Point not far from Damariscotta where we were staying. Terry was behind me painting almost the same view. Maggie was off to our left, painting rocks. As soon as I finished this transparent watercolor of the lighthouse, I painted Maggie painting.

This tiny 5″ x 7″ transparent watercolor of sailboats at Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada I painted en plein air from the little bridge near Ian’s farm where my daughter and I vacationed one year. We would gather ripe wild berries on our way down to the bridge and eat them fresh and juicy at our next meal.
