revisiting Cabo

My show at the Hingham Public Library ( Dolphin Gallery) opens August 8.
Trying to finish up these older pieces. It is a challenge to be in the studio on beautiful days.
Wah Wah Wah.

Camp is really fun- last night at my brothers barn we had our mid-camp staff party- out DJ (Shawn) kept us dancing all night!
now my legs are sore- I love to dance- need to do it more!

quick daisy 4"x4" acrylic

I don't love the chain link fence around the pool area in my back yard, but I like the pattern it makes behind my shasta daisy! I did this this morning after seeing Page Railsbacks quickie zinnia ( thanks Page for the inspiration!)

Yesterday I was treated to a visit to Halfway pond in Plymouth. My charming hostess Diana and I  dined and kayaked . I felt like I was in girl scouts again. It was so soothing ! We saw two bald eagles and a few turtles sunning.

I love the smell of pine needles in the sun.

ahhh, life!

Here is a photo Diana took- not the turtle we saw yesterday, but a resident of the pond...

my arms hurt today  ):

fireflies at night 9"x12"

this one was done with acrylic from memory- the words are macaroni letters I dyed for the campers.
I am proud that I used NO GLITTER to portray the idea of fireflies!

camp mosaic

this one is going to wrap the column near the theater entrance- hence the theatre theme!
Its supposed to be red velvet draped fabric  and tassles which is a little bit of a challenge...

Happy Fourth!

I am painting today- but its porch railings and trim on my house .
Gotta do that stuff too on occasion!

I was invited to a wonderful cookout at Humarock beach last night- the third of July is my all time favorite holiday- fireworks and bonfires galore!

summertime fun

Summer camp!

Each summer in Hingham MA I teach painting and mosaics- 

and lots of other fun things I come up with for the kids to do.

I love these kids!

Here is my landscape painting class in the field- there is a lovely view of Long Cove that we have been painting.

I taught the kids how to prime the canvases first with a tone, in this case pink.

Their results are stunning and they are so happy!

Yesterday we saw my nephew ( running to second base in the background) play baseball.
Doesn't get more American than this.
Happy Fourth Everyone!
