Fresh strawberries

In our way home last night , a farmer in town had his strawberries for sale on a table ,the honor system ! what a wonderful way to buy fresh fruit from that day. Before I washed them I knew , I wanted to paint them with my favorite old French towel , it just reminds me of home when I grew up, all kitchen towels looked like that , blue or red.

Cutler fishing boats

I took a day off yesterday , had the pleasure to go with my artist friends to a American Watercolor Society exhibit in Gloucester, MA at the North Shore Art association where the traveling show is making a stop. It's always a pleasure to see the best of the best in watercolor. The weather was also beautiful , the location of the North Shore gallery is such of a beautiful spot, overlooking the harbor of Gloucester, so much history there! I really wanted to paint, I have painted in the area before , it's only about an hour from where I live.

I am posting a watercolor of fishing boats , I painted in Maine in the small village of Cutler
