a fine day

"a fine day"

oil on canvas ~ 24 x 30 inches

We've been on the move a lot since arriving in New Hampshire...we do love to explore a new place.

So, lots of canoe trips, country drives, hikes and checking out all the local ice cream joints has been on the agenda. A month or so ago, we happened upon this place, Pitcher Mountain...and what a find it was.

A short hike up to a treeless summit with 360 degree views, fire tower, granite outcroppings and blueberries galore. I was in heaven... berry pickin' being one of my most favorite activities (which has thankfully been passed down to my two little charges). We even found the, let's just say "evidence" of quite a few bears up there who were obviously enjoying the berries as much as we. It felt like we were living right out of Blueberries for Sal... except, thankfully all human and bear little ones stayed with their proper parents.

plink. plank. plunk.

twilight

Last of the Contoocook paintings...this was the first one I did and I was a bit rusty with my plein air skills. The darn boat kept drifting in the water and changing positions on me.


Thanks to all who came out to see me at Art in the Park in my hometown. It was a great weekend!

evening at the lake

This is one of the plein air pieces I did a couple weeks back at Contoocook Lake. Cindy and I had painted for a few hours just around the bend from this scene...on the way home the sun was setting and I just had to stop and capture this view.

back from the lake (and a couple of announcements)

Well, I dusted off my plein air supplies and finally got out there to paint! With the recent big move, two busy kiddos & summer vacations, it had been a long time. It was super hot but great to get out there again. You can see my work at several upcoming shows, details below.

I am participating in a "en plein air" art show to benefit the Contoocook Lake Area Preservation Association (CLAPA). The reception is Saturday, August 22nd, 4pm - 7pm at the Jaffrey Beach. This week, local landowners on Contoocook Lake are opening up their properties for artists to come and paint the local beauty on location. We will be showcasing our work at this reception and a percentage of the sale price will benefit CLAPA.

Next up, Art in the Park at Ashuelot River Park in Keene, NH. September 5th & 6th, 10am to 4pm.

I had a bit of time to paint while on vacation in Maine and did a few local scenes in watercolor. I seem to keep going back to this scene at the height of land. The classic car was an imagined touch...I'd love to have one some day.
