Last week schools were closed three days because of the Nor'Easter's floods. This week is school vacation. I am lucky to have done this tiny little thing!

“Orrington, ME”


ORRINGTON, ME
Oil on Canvas
10x8 Inches

My husband and family are from Maine. What a wonderful place for a newbie landscape painter to paint. I am eager to take another road trip to see my inlaws; they will love the time with their grandchildren and I will enjoy capturing all the sites for future paintings!

“Hanging in a Gallery!”


MY OIL PAINTINGS HANGING IN THE GALLERY

My paintings were juried and accepted to hang in a gallery in the next town over! Received the phone call yesterday and went this morning to hang my pieces. They didn't seem to be so crooked in real life. I should go and straighten them!!!!


It snowed a lot last night (April 4th). Lots of limbs were down and much of my town woke without power. Needless to say the schools were closed! Couldn't believe the wonderful winter wonderland that awaited me when I got to Milford!!! Here’s a picture of the Milford Oval, where the shop is located. That's Spring in New England!

“Salt Marsh”


SALT MARSH
Oil on Canvas

This is my first canvas painting of a landscape! It's based on a photograph I found in WetCanvas’ reference library. “Thank you WC!” Really enjoyed doing it and hoping I will be able to try another soon!
