Lupines in Maine

This house was a short walk from the farmhouse where we stayed last week. The lupines were in full tilt! I set up my chair under a row of beach roses and the smell was intoxicating.

Its a bit unfinished , but not sure I plan to do much more. It was just fun.

I can't believe my Mom's been gone almost two years. This really doesn't look like her but it captures the essence of her beauty.This is a copy of a painting

 a local artist painted  for a play she was in called "Laura"

I have it in my house now. 

Gratitude # 130

Back from my trip- what a glorious week we had. Sadly one of the gang couldn't come and she was missed. I painted this pretty iris on the first morning.

We painted up a storm and the evenings were rich with food and spirits and conversation.

I love the smell of the balsam pillows. SO nostalgic!

I enjoyed doing these panoramic format pieces in watercolor. this is about 5"x16"

Maine!

My trip to maine with 5 other artists is finally here. We stay at a big ol' farmhouse in New Harbor, which is up near Wiscasset.
I'm bringing watercolors and acrylics and lots of beads to play with!And books and food and my pillow.  I plan to resume my gratitudes as well.
This past month has been so busy I might just do nothing.

These are watercolor paintings I did the first year I was there in 2006.

Sneak Peek of Amelia

I am almost done with Amelia.

She is moving to Brockton to the Fuller Museum on Friday.

Here is a detail .

I will unveil the finished piece when I get the details of the show.

It opens in July sometime.

I cannot wait to get this done- as fun as she was to make- it has consumed me.

I am very grateful for my husband who is the chief cook these days so I can be out in my studio.

of course, I am already planning my next iconic woman piece. Any ideas?
