Sunflowers-Viridian Leaves

A small group of us gathered for years in the garret studio of a fellow artist and it was way up here that I imagined myself as the sun and tried to capture how the sunflowers were so happily reaching toward the sunlight from the darkness beneath their beautiful viridian leaves.  I used transparent watercolors on 300 lb Arches acid-free paper.  Sadly, this image does not show the brilliance of the original painting, especially the intense violets and bright blue cobalt.  The painting sold immediately to a Collector.

Poppies Popping

Poppies Popping was just an idea swirling in my brain when I began to paint it in April at the shore. I used transparent watercolors on a full sheet of Arches 300 lb cold press 30″ x 22″ paper.   My critique group  voted down the black frame (which I felt really popped the poppies) that I had ordered to go with the painting and its 5″ acid-free mat in favor of a pale platinum gold frame.  My daughter-in-law loves the painting with the black frame, so if it doesn’t sell from this show, I’ll give it to her, with my love, re-framed in black.

Bay Fog

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.

Low Tide at Littlefield Farm (Block Island)

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.
