I painted this street of a small village in Maine some years back where all the houses remind it me of haunted houses, i thought I would share it for a night on Halloween .
I just change my computer ,I am not doing well with the change of Vista , so different then my old one ,I am spending so much time trying to get my files , photos etc..
The weather has gone crazy in parts of the states , Snow! Oh no ,not yet, fall is not over!
I am getting ready for a painting demonstration at the Chelmsford art society tomorrow night, I had to get all my material ready, I will paint a landscape with fall colors, and talk about daily painters, so busy day tomorrow!
Beautiful fall day here, I made a turkey dinner today to cheer up my husband ,also had my family over but in between I managed to paint this scene, I took a photo of it last week while coming back from a painting day , I love the colors and the reflection of the trees and the color of the weeds in the water,if you are familiar with New England , you know a scene just like that .
I have had another duty these past few days, to be a nurse to my husband , he is doing fine now, but we definitely had a scare , diabetes is an horrible disease , hope they will find a cure soon .
My life has been very busy these last few day with some family emergency , my husband in the hospital with some health issues , He will be OK ,but the next few days I must take care of him first. the skies in September and October are very dramatic and just beautiful.
I am just about finish with a large commission ,after this I really want to go back outdoors while the leaves are still on the trees and capture the last beauty of the season, I am also still having computer problem , I had bought a new one and after three weeks of problem with this new machine ,I packed the whole thing and returned it to the store and picked a different one .I just hope this one work the way it's supposed to.
Yesterday my friends and I went in town Boston that is, to see a wonderful show on Newbury street at the famous Vose gallery, one of the oldest gallery in town owned by the same family for generations, right now they are showing an exhibit of an a pastel artist Janet Monafo the work was just breathtaking ,beautiful ,a real tour de force , a must see if you are in Boston .
We are back home after a nice five days in Maine where the colors where just the most beautiful, I just love New England in the fall!
Plein air today in the same country road to our cabin, beautiful weather ,but as I am typing this I hear rain drops on the roof, I hope the leaves stay on for a few more days,fall is just too short!
I went out plein air painting this afternoon on the road to our cabin , it was just beautiful almost past peek , only a week left before some wind will take all the leaves down, it was so peaceful !
In my way to Maine for a few days of peek colors in the Western montain, I am bringing my pastels for this event.
My computer crashed last week, I now will have to get used to a new system, I just hope i can recover the data from my old hard drive , my son is working on it.
Where I have been painting my miniature recently, the area is full of apple orchards , beautiful trees full of apples everywhere, I love this season with all the fresh crops of fruits and vegetables .
The show was nice, the whether was a beautiful September day , but the costumers did not want to buy ,I think Wall Street was on their mind! so all my beautiful paintings went back in their bags ,back in the car to a ride home and back to the studio, I really wanted them to find a nice home. Oh well! that is the life of an artist ,
Today I was getting ready for the show tomorrow, the weather will be good so I am exited ,now I hope the people forget about Wall Street and enjoy the show and maybe collect a work of art, I think it will gain value in the long run !
Another beautiful September day,worked on a commission part of the day, and do some framing for a show on Saturday in Dunstable MA , my fourth year doing this show in a beautiful property in the center of town called Seasons at Calmore, a real first class Antique shop, the weather should be great!
I was walking the dog at dusk in a field across my house when the fog was rolling in, I wanted to do the scene of the deep colors in the foliage and the big cloud. Back at the studio my painting
