Radcliffe College

In the same theme as my larger pieces, I have been continuing with graphite on mylar. This is a painting done with powdered graphite and galkyd medium on mylar. the architectural details are not enhanced in the larger oil paintings, so these seem like a nice balance.

image is 8"x6", the piece framed is 11x14"- graphite on mylar

Two Day Lilies

My neighbor brought me these beautiful lilies and I have watched them open up, one at a time, over the last week. Perfect subjects for a painting!
Amazingly, this painting sold before the email announcing it had time to be sent. I have planned for a series of lily paintings over the next week, so stay tuned for more!

Providence, RI

This is the largest painting I have done in my small studio- 48"x36". I debated whether to put graffiti or tattooing on this piece, but every time I tried, it didn't blend. So this building will stay clear of decoration!

Work in progress

New work- this painting is 48x36". A house in Providence that I took a photo of at my reunion weekend. I am showing the initial layout that I painted in with a wash of gray, and then the beginning of filling in the color.

More to come...

Artichoke

Just returned from my 20 year RISD reunion- and needed to just get paint on a brush and work. This artichoke was at whole foods, and I thought it was beautiful! Hard to paint, but the rhythm kicked in and I feel I caught the feeling of it.

Wish I were 18 again and heading off to freshman year- but maybe if I get the MacDowell fellowship, it will sort of feel like that!

Three Clementines

A new small painting! I am looking for the oranges that still have some nice green leaves attached, but until I find them, I am using clementines.

Park Street Church completed

I am really proud of this painting. I am finally beginning to find techniques that work for me and my vision of what it is I want to express to people.

Park Street Church

This is a work in progress. I have been exploring painting with a looser hand- a less illustrative approach, and I am very excited about it. This is a church in downtown Boston that I shot while walking around the city with my husband and kids. I like the gray sky and cool, rainy feel to this painting, although that day it was warm and sunny! I will post again once I have added the finishing touches.

Common St, Belmont

As you have probably noticed, I have been focusing more on larger paintings and less on small daily paintings. My posts may be less frequent for a while, but I will post updates on works in progress when I think of it!

This is a larger painting- 24"x24"- oil on canvas

A grand old house around the corner from me that I always admire, and finally have incorporated into a painting. My desire was for the henna to resemble ivy growing up the sides of the house.

Pleasant Street Church, Belmont, MA

This is the finished work- it is small- 8x10"- and I hope to reproduce it much larger in the near future.

Work in progress

I am finally back to work on a new painting! Head colds really take the drive out of a person! I am happy to say that the school year is proceeding well though, and I am enjoying the cooler temps of fall (my studio is not 120 degrees!)

This is the beginning stage of a new painting of a church here in Belmont, MA- more to come...

Also, for anyone in the Boston area, we are having an opening Friday night at the Belmont Gallery of Art for the Belmont artist show- all are welcome and encouraged to attend- we have some real talent here in Belmont!

Church Steeple

Still exploring the tattooed surface idea. This is a simple church steeple in Vermont. I am imagining this to be a study of sortd for a future, larger piece.

Bath Savings Bank- with henna

OK- last repost- but this shot is so much better than my amateur shot!

Deer Isle Home- with henna

Here is the professional shot (care of Dana Bonstrom) of the completed painting. I added a second panel because I felt the building needed more space. It was cramped in the first canvas.
