Rocky Shoreline

9" x 12"  Oil on panel.  Available here.

My busy summer has prevented me from posting but now that the season is over I plan on posting regularly once again.  The time off was much longer than I expected it would be but I do have some new paintings ready to share.  This first one I painted plein air the first week of September.  I was on one of our decks out at our cabins.  Fall was in the air and it was a lovely bright day.  I hope those of your who enjoy these posts will give me some feed back now and then.  It is such a help to know you are there.  I am painting every day now (most everyday) so I am eager to share what I'm working on.  When the weather is good I am trying to paint outside.  I am also working in my home studio on larger or more complicated pieces.   Thank you for viewing my art!

8" x 10" Oil on panel.

I had trouble with my blog not being delivered on my last posting.  I'm crossing my fingers and hoping this one will go out to your inboxes.   This is a painting I did while in Maine back in October.  I just framed it and hung it in my house.

22" x 28" Oil on canvas.   Here once again is the rocky shoreline of Humpy Cove.  It is a wonderful place to explore by kayak.  I love these trees and rocks.  

Purchase

Offshore Rock

8"x10"  oil on panel.  $275.   Another painting in plain air.  What a lovely day we had.  I was chilled to the bone and had to take a hot shower when I finally got home but I loved painting on site.  It was a around 38 degrees but the wind made it colder.

First Outdoor Painting of the Summer!

8" x 10" oil on panel,  SOLD.    We are having a stretch of sunny weather and it was a great opportunity to paint outside today.  I found a spot out of the wind and I was near the tide pool area on the island at low tide.  I was surprised at how unaware I was of the cold air as I was too busy concintrateing on what I was attempting to paint!     I hope to try another painting tomorrow if the weather permits.

View Along Turnagain Arm

11"x 14" Oil on canvas, SOLD     This scene is on the way to Anchorage driving north on the Seward Highway past Portage.  Those of you who have been here will know this area.  The water way is called Turnagain Arm and this drive is one of the most scenic drives anywhere.   It takes a little over two hours for us to drive to Anchorage from Seward and when we make this drive I am always looking for painting ideas.  Rain or shine it is lovely.  This painting was finished last week.  I started it several weeks ago but put the final touches on it last week.

Offshore Paddle

6"x12" oil on wood panel, Sold.   These kayakers are paddling along the shoreline in Humpy Cove.  Many kayakers visit a salmon stream and water fall in the south end of the cove.  Kayaking is popular in this area due to the beautiful coastline, abundant wildlife and calm waters.

Late Fall

11"x 14" oil on canvas.  This painting is the largest one I have posted so far on my blog.  I just felt like this scene needed the larger format.    I completed it in late November 2012.   It is sitting in a pewter colored frame in the corner of my studio.  Like all of my paintings, I have it price unframed but if you were interested in the frame it could be added on.     I don't think the frame looks quite this shinny in real life.

Available.
